Abstract

With proper operative technique the endorectal pull through is a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of Hirschsprung's disease which can be utilized in both infants and older children with a minimum of complications. The use of a colostomy at the time of the pullthrough procedure may endanger rather than protect the pulled-through colonic segment. Postoperative drainage of the rectal cuff is indicated for 2-4 days to prevent the occurrence of cuff abscesses.
