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

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\[3\].
