    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Hirschsprung's disease requires surgical correction of the aganglionic segment.
    • Traditional pull-through techniques for colorectal anastomosis can be complex and time-consuming.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a modified retrorectal pull-through procedure using a circular stapler for colorectal anastomosis in pediatric patients.
    • To assess the safety and efficacy of this modified technique in treating Hirschsprung's disease.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified retrorectal pull-through approach was employed in six pediatric patients.
    • A circular anastomotic stapler was utilized to create an end-to-side colorectal anastomosis.
    • The modified technique focused on achieving a rapid, wide, and precise anastomosis.

    Main Results:

    • The modified procedure was successfully performed in all six children.
    • The technique resulted in a rapid, wide, and precise colorectal anastomosis.
    • No intraoperative or postoperative complications were reported in the series.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified retrorectal pull-through procedure with a circular stapler is a safe and effective method for colorectal anastomosis in Hirschsprung's disease.
    • This technique offers advantages in terms of speed, precision, and anastomosis width compared to previous methods.
    • Further studies may validate these findings in a larger cohort.
