Foreword
Drs. Holschneider and Puri have again given me the honor of writing the foreword to this magnificent new edition of their book. This book will continue to be recognized as the most comprehensive and well-documented text ever written on this subject. This new edition expands the horizons of our knowledge of difficult and challenging conditions such as Hirschsprung’s disease. Dr. Grosfeld, a prestigious professor of pediatric surgery, was invited to write on the historical perspective of Hirschsprung’s disease, and he has done so with a characteristically masterful style. The chapter on the pathophysiology of Hirschsprung’s disease is now written by Dr. Puri and Dr. Montedonico. Dr. Moore has written a very interesting chapter
