Abstract:
Objective To evaluate modified Soave procedure for the treatment of Hirschsprung's disease for the neonate and infant. Methods Seventeen cases of short and sigmoid types of Hirschsprung's disease were treated by transanal modified Soave procedure. The incision was made 1cm posterioly and 2-3 cm anterioly above the dental line; the dissection progressed from the submucosa layer up to the perineal reflex into the pelvic cavity, and the rectum was pulled through. "V" shap muscular cuff was excised on the posterior wall. The proximal colon was anastomosed to the anal mucosa. Results Mean operative time was 160 min ? 45 min, mean blood loss was 45 ml ?35 ml. No enterocolitis, anastomotic leak, perianal infection and anastomotic stenosis occurred. All patients recovered with normal defecation, and no complication was observed from a follow-up of more than 4 mos. Conclusion Modified Soave procedure is safe and effective for the treatment of Hirschsprung's disease in the neonate and infant.
