Long-term outcomes of laparoscopic-assisted versus complete transanal endorectal pull-through technique for classic segment Hirschsprung’s disease
Topic overview
This longitudinal study compared two surgical techniques for treating classic Hirschsprung's disease in 154 pediatric patients: complete transanal (TERPT) versus laparoscopic-assisted (LERPT) endorectal pull-through. While TERPT had shorter operative times, both approaches showed equivalent long-term outcomes in complication rates and bowel function.
Key takeaways
- TERPT has significantly shorter operative time than LERPT (109.5 vs 144.6 minutes) for classic Hirschsprung's disease.
- Long-term complication rates are equivalent between TERPT and LERPT approaches.
- Stooling patterns show no significant difference between techniques at long-term follow-up.
- Both TERPT and LERPT are effective surgical options for classic segment Hirschsprung's disease in children.
