Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES(®); American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy [Oak Brook, IL] and Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons [Los Angeles, CA]) for the surgical management of long-segment Hirschsprung's disease.

Patients And Methods: Three children with long-segment Hirschsprung's disease were enrolled in this study. In all three cases the transition zone was proximal to the splenic flexure, with too long a segment of distal aganglionic colon to perform an isolated transanal pull-through.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to analyze the clinical outcomes and anorectal manometry (AM) in infants with congenital high anorectal malformations treated with posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) and laparoscopically assisted anorectal pull through (LAARP).

Materials And Methods: From August 2005 to December 2008, 23 patients with congenital high anorectal malformations were randomly distributed into PSARP and LAARP groups. All of them underwent LAARP (11 cases) or PSARP (12 cases) at 2 or 3 months old.

Aim: To study the long-term therapeutic effect of "heart-shaped" anastomosis for Hirschsprung's disease.

Methods: From January 1986 to October 1997, we performed one-stage "heart-shaped" anastomosis for 193 patients with Hirschsprung's disease (HD). One hundred and fifty-two patients were followed up patients (follow-up rate 79%).

Methods: Hirschsprung's disease treated by heart-shaped anastomosis, improvement of surgery procedure, and complications were reviewed retrospectively.

Results: Of 193 cases, 152 completed follow-up.
