How Safe Is Surgery For Hirschsprung's Disease?

My daughter has issues going to the restroom. she can go a day or two with out having a bowel movement. Her pediatrician believes she MIGHT have Hershbergers Disease. We go for her barium enema, sorry if things are spelled incorrectly, on Monday. I want to know what her % is coming out of the surgery okay. Do children die from this or the surgery. I am very scared. I lost my son in 08 from prematurity and NEC. She is all I have left.
