Pathomorphological Examination of the Sigmoid Intestine Wall in Patient Children with Dolychosigma

Dolichosigma is one of the most common developmental anomalies of the colon, characterized by the pathological elongation of the sigmoid colon and its mesentery. According to various authors, the frequency of dolichosigma occurrence in the child population ranges from 15% to 25%, making this pathology a pressing problem in modern pediatrics and pediatric surgery. Despite the congenital nature of the anomaly, the clinical manifestations of dolichosigma can manifest at different age periods, which is associated with the peculiarities of growth and development of the gastrointestinal tract in children. The leading symptom of the disease is chronic constipation, resistant to conservative therapy, which can be accompanied by pain syndrome, meteorism, and disruption of the child's general condition.
