Hirschsprung disease (HSCR), a neonatal gut disorder, involves missing nerve cells in the intestine, causing obstruction. The transanal pull-through surgery shows promising, cost-effective results for this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Developmental Biology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a common neonatal disorder affecting the enteric nervous system.
  • It is characterized by aganglionosis in the distal intestine, leading to functional obstruction.
  • The exact pathogenesis and genetic basis of HSCR remain unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution of surgical treatments for Hirschsprung disease.
  • To analyze recent literature and clinical controversies surrounding the transanal pull-through procedure.
  • To assess the preliminary outcomes and cost-effectiveness of this minimally invasive approach.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent medical literature on Hirschsprung disease surgical management.

  • Analysis of the transanal pull-through procedure, including rectal mucosectomy, aganglionic bowel resection, and colo-anal anastomosis.
  • Evaluation of preliminary follow-up data and cost-effectiveness.

    • Main Results:

    • The transanal pull-through is a minimally invasive, one-stage surgical procedure for HSCR.
    • Preliminary results indicate favorable outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
    • Despite relatively short follow-up periods, the procedure shows significant promise.

    Conclusions:

    • The transanal pull-through procedure represents a significant advancement in HSCR surgical treatment.
    • This minimally invasive approach offers favorable preliminary results and is cost-effective.
    • Further long-term studies are warranted to fully establish its efficacy.
