Stapled anopexy for short segment Hirschprungs disease in adults

Traditional treatment of short segment Hirschprungs disease in adult consists of major resectional procedures, often with the use of a temporary stoma. Patients with this disease may have significant morbidities that increase their risk of post-operative morbidity and mortality. In an attempt to minimize the procedural related morbidity, we describe the application of the stapled anopexy technique to treat short segment Hirschprungs disease.
