Modified Swenson-like pull-through with temporary stump for redo pull-through after failed Transanal Endorectal Pull-through

Sumario:Hirschsprung's disease is a congenital anomaly in the distal part of the gastrointestinal tract, characterised by the absence of neuronal ganglion cells in the myenteric and submucosal plexus, causing the accumulation of faeces in the proximal portion. Dehiscence of coloanal anastomosis is one of the complications of Transanal Endorectal Pull-through (TEPT) surgery. This paper reports a case of Hirschsprung's disease in a six-year-old girl who experienced anastomotic dehiscence after undergoing TEPT. Due to post-TEPT anastomotic dehiscence, we performed a re-do pull-through with the modified Swenson-like method using a temporary stump. The stump is maintained for two weeks, then removed. On long-term evaluation, there was normal digestive function, no incontinence, and an excellent anal outcome. The modified Swenson-like pull-through with temporary stumps can be an alternative surgical technique for re-do pull-through after failed TEPT, with satisfactory results.
