Current practice of rectal biopsies for the diagnosis of Hirschsprung ’s disease in Latin America: an international online survey

ConclusionsIn Latin –America, the accessibility for RSB is limited only 18 out of 149 surgeons have access to rectal suction tool. There is no consensus regarding sample number, site of proximal biopsy, and antibiotics use. The complications associated with the procedure seems to be less than reported with RSB. There fore, we should standardize this common surgical practice and establish universal guidelines for rectal biopsy procedure (RBP).
