Introduction: Deloyers procedure has been reported in the literature as a viable alternative to the more commonly performed Swenson, Soave and Duhamel methods. As of yet, the long term sequelae of this procedure for patients with Hirschsprung's disease have not been studied in depth.

Presentation Of Case: We report the first case in the literatures of a 27-year-old man presenting with rectal prolapse due to colorectal anastomotic intussusception after Deloyers procedure for Hirschsprung's disease.

Discussion: Few studies with low case volume have been performed investigating the long term sequelae of Deloyers procedure as a mainstay in patients undergoing operative treatment for Hirschsprung's disease. This procedure allows for preservation of a longer segment of colon, in turn potentially improving absorption and continence compared to other methods. Studies are limited and as of yet the viability of Deloyers as a mainstay of treatment for Hirschsprung's disease is inconclusive.

Conclusion: We report the first adult case of prolapsed colorectal anastomotic intussusception after Deloyers procedure for Hirschsprung's disease. Further study is required to delineate long-term complications and viability of this method in these patients.

Long-segment Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) presents significant challenges in surgical management, often requiring extensive bowel mobilization and creative techniques to achieve tension-free anastomosis. Colonic derotation offers a viable solution for preserving bowel length and maintaining the ileocecal valve, which is crucial for postoperative bowel function. The procedure involves extensive colonic mobilization and strategic vascular divisions of the right and middle colic vessels while preserving the ileocolic and marginal arteries, followed by a 180° counterclockwise rotation of the colon around the ileocolic vascular axis.

Subtotal colectomy is often performed on patients with synchronous colorectal cancer. However, compared with colorectal anastomosis, ileorectal anastomosis with subtotal colectomy is more likely to result in bowel dysfunction. The Deloyers procedure is useful in preserving bowel function in a patient with synchronous colorectal cancer.
