Article Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical profile and outcome of patients with Hirschsprung's disease undergoing Soave's transabdominal pull-through.
Methods: The study is a prospective study in neonates, infants and children presenting to Surgery Department of B. P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Dharan, Nepal with a diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease who underwent a Soave's transabdominal pull-through from 2006 to 2008.
Results: There were 20 patients, including 10 neonates (50%), 8 infants (40%) and 2 children (10%). There were 18 males and 2 females. Mean age at presentation was 9.2 months (range 7 days-7 years). Mean time of passing stool postoperatively was 49.5h (range 15-72h). Mean time to orally allowing was 97.2h postoperatively (range 36-120h). Mean hospital stay was 14.4 days (range 11-19days). One patient died due to uncontrollable hyperthermia (5% mortality). Other complications noted were 1(5.2%) anastomotic leak, 1(5.2%) cuff abscess and 1(5.8%) anastomotic stricture. Mean stool frequency at 1st month of follow-up was 6.8 per day, which later decreased to 4.5 per day at 3rd month, 3.1 per day at 6th month and 1.7 at 1 year. Two patients (11.7%) have constipation at 1 year follow-up.
Conclusion: The rate of complications like mortality, cuff abscess, anastomotic leak and constipation are comparable to other series. The short-term results of Soave's transabdominal pull-through have been satisfactory; however long-term results are still awaited.

Introduction: Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a disorder caused by the failure of neural crest migration leading to an aganglionic colon and functional obstruction. Transabdominal Yancey-Soave pull-through is one of the definitive therapies for this condition. Prognostic factors, including sex, aganglionosis type, age at definitive surgery, nutritional status, eosinophilia and lymphocytosis, might influence the outcomes of the pull-through.

Article Synopsis
- - Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a congenital condition that causes intestinal obstruction in infants due to the lack of ganglion cells, with types categorized as short, long, or total colon aganglionosis (TCA), necessitating pull-through surgery for treatment.
- - A study was conducted analyzing 19 children who underwent surgery for long-segment and TCA HSCR, assessing their functional outcomes and incidents of Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) using specific scoring systems from 2013 to 2020.
- - Results indicated that long-segment HSCR patients generally had better functional outcomes compared to TCA patients, although HAEC appeared at similar rates across both groups, highlighting the need for long-term

Background: Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a common congenital disorder presenting with functional obstruction due to aganglionosis of the colon. There are numerous types of pull-through surgery for managing HSCR, such as transabdominal endorectal (Soave), Swenson, Duhamel, transanal endorectal pull-through (TEPT), and laparoscopic (Georgeson) approach. Here, we aimed to describe the long-term outcome of patients with HSCR who underwent transabdominal Soave, Duhamel, and TEPT in our institution.

The aim of this study was to describe the details of laparoscopic-assisted reoperative surgery for Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) with overflow fecal incontinence, and to retrospectively compare laparoscopic-assisted surgery with transabdominal pull-through surgery. We retrospectively analyzed patients with HSCR with overflow fecal incontinence after the initial surgery in our center between January 2002 and December 2018. Pre-operative, peri-operative, and post-operative data were recorded for statistical analysis.
