Modification of the endorectal procedure for Hirschsprung's disease.
During the last four years, 25 patients have been operated upon using a technical modification of the endorectal procedure for the treatment of Hirschsprung's disease. There have been no major complications, and the ease with which the lower anastomosis was carried out has been quite remarkable. This opinion has been substantiated by surgeons who previously used other techniques for the lower anastomosis and have now adopted this modification.
