Article Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the safety and benefits of Soave's and Duhamel's pull-through procedures for the management of Hirschsprung's disease (HD). The patients consisted of 33 boys (85%) and six girls (15%), a ratio of 5.5:1. Their ages ranged from 1 day to 8 years. Rectal biopsy was performed to confirm the diagnosis of HD. Twenty-five patients (64%) underwent Soave's pull-through, and 13 patients (33%) underwent Duhamel's pull-through. Twenty children (80%) out of the 25 undergoing Soave's pull-through recovered uneventfully, compared with 11 out of the 13 (84%) undergoing Duhamel's pull-through. The complications following Soave's procedure included strictures in two patients (8%), enterocolitis in another two (8%), and anastomotic leakage in one (4%). Additional operations were required in two patients (8%). The complications following Duhamel's procedure included stricture in one patient (7.6%) and enterocolitis in another (7.6%). An additional operation was required in one patient (7.6%). The rate of constipation was 16% after the Soave's pull-through compared with 15% after the Duhamel's pull-through. There was no significant difference between the two procedures in postoperative surgical morbidity or in long-term risk of enterocolitis. In the light of present findings, both procedures appear comparable in terms of efficiency and associated complications.

Prevalence and Factors associated with Bowel Dysfunctions after Pull-Through Surgery in Children Diagnosed with Hirschsprung Disease.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined bowel dysfunction prevalence in children with Hirschsprung disease (HD) after pull-through surgery, analyzing medical records from 2004 to 2022.
- Out of 97 children studied, 64.95% experienced bowel dysfunction, with Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) being the most common issue, affecting nearly half of the subjects.
- Key findings indicated that previous HAEC, the type of surgical procedure (Duhamel operation), and the child's age at surgery (under 6 months) significantly correlated with post-surgery bowel dysfunction outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to create a clinical prediction model for determining the risk of postoperative Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) within 5 years following surgery in children with Hirschsprung disease.
- The research included 274 patients, revealing that 27.4% experienced HAEC, with eight significant predictors identified, like gender, weight at surgery, and the type of surgical approach.
- The prediction model demonstrated promising accuracy (AuROC of 0.749) and established risk categories (low and high), aiding in patient management and follow-up; an online tool was also developed for calculating individual risk.

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

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to compare the effectiveness and complications of four surgical methods for treating Hirschsprung disease: open Duhamel (OD), laparoscopic-assisted Duhamel (LD), transanal endorectal pull-through (TEPT), and laparoscopic-assisted endorectal pull-through (LEPT).
- A comprehensive review of 62 studies involving 4781 patients was conducted, assessing outcomes related to surgery and complications, using various statistical methods to analyze the data.
- Results indicate that LEPT has the least intraoperative blood loss and shortest recovery time concerning gastrointestinal function, while OD shows longer recovery times and hospital stays compared to LEPT.
