Diagnostic rectal biopsies in children are safe. Non-surgical biopsies are more likely to give inconclusive results due to smaller amounts of submucosa present in the specimen. Open biopsies are especially useful when previous non-surgical biopsies are inconclusive. An experienced pathologist is a key factor for the result. The anatomopathology report should specify the different layers present in the specimen, the presence of ganglion cells and hypertrophic nerve fibres, their description and a conclusion
