About this study

Official title: Laparoscopic Assisted Pull-through Versus Other Surgical Procedures for Treatment of Hirschsprung Disease.

To evaluate the outcomes of laparoscopic pull-through concerning constipation, incontinence and enterocolitis in comparison of other surgical procedures for treatment of Hirschsprung disease.

Read the detailed description

Hirschsprung,s disease (HD) is a relatively common cause of intestinal obstruction in the newborn[1,2], The main goal in the treatment of patients with Hirschsprung,s disease is to resect the aganglionic segment and pull down the Normo-ganglionic bowel[3]. With the introduction of minimally invasive surgery, classic pull-through techniques were modified and improved with laparoscopy, because of the obvious advantages of laparoscopic-assisted pull-through operations in form of reduced pain and improved cosmoses this approach has gained much popularity[4,5].

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Constipation

    persistace of inablilty to pass stool even after operation and treatment,it is physiological parameter and assisted by asking the mothers of patients about the bowel habits.

    Measured: from one to three months after operation
