Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept second opinions for colorectal conditions?
Yes. Dr. Frykman regularly reviews children who have already had surgery elsewhere, including redo and revisional pull-through cases. Please bring operative notes, imaging and pathology to the consultation.
What is Hirschsprung disease?
Hirschsprung disease is a congenital condition in which nerve cells are missing from part of the bowel, which prevents normal stool passage. It is usually diagnosed in infancy and is treated surgically.
Will my child need long-term follow up?
Children treated for anorectal malformations and Hirschsprung disease are generally followed over a number of years, with bowel management support as they grow. That follow-up is part of the care Dr. Frykman provides.
