Primary laparoscopic pull-through for Hirschsprung's disease / 临床外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To review the preliminary experience of primary laparoscopic pull-through for Hirschsprung's Disease in children.Methods Since May 2000,25 patients with Hischsprung's disease underwent Laparoscopic Pull-Through. The oldest age was 6 years old and the youngest was 20 days. All patients underwent anesthesia and tracheal intuition, carbon dioxide was insufflated into abdominal cavity via a Veers needle, reaching a insulation pressure of 1.33～1.86 kPa (10～14 mmHg). One umbilical camera port one-instrument port at left abdomen and one instrument port at right abdomen were made.Results The mean operative time was 165-min. Oral feeding was started 3 days postoperatively. The average hospitalization was 9 days (7～10 days).No complication was encountered.Conclusions Primary laparoscopic Pull-Through for Hirschsprung's Disease in children is safe and feasible.
