Abstract
Complications following use of the rectal suction biopsy technique in the diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease, are rare. In a series of 1,340 consecutive biopsies, complications included three clinical perforations of the bowel, one resulting in death, and three rectal hemorrhages requiring transfusion. A plea is made for the use of greater care in this technique.Entities:
