The results of 71 Duhamel operation in children with Hirschsprung's disease and idiopathic megacolon are presented. Seven modifications of the operation were used, including those with the use of constant magnets, staplers, without application of the crushing clamps and with leaving a stump of the brought down intestine under the anus. A purposeful choice of a method for completion of the Duhamel operation permits to reduce the number of complications.
