Abstract
The standard surgical management of infants with Hirschsprung's disease (H.D) traditionally has been one of the pull through procedures developed by Swenson, Duhamel and Soave with a variable rate of complications. So, a new pull through procedure for the treatment of H.D. via posterior sagittal approach without laparotomy or laparoscopy was evaluated in this study. The approach has been performed for 21 patients having H.D. admitted at Pediatric Surgery Unit, Mansoura University Hospital. Theiqr ages ranged from 8 months to 5 years. Patients were followed up postoperatively for a period ranging from 6 months to 18 months. The results were satisfactory with complications occuring only in six cases. Thus, the study reveals that this approach can be performed successfully and safely for definitive treatment of patients having H.D.
