[Results of the treatment of Hirschsprung's disease using Duhamel technique and mechanical sutures].
The original Duhamel procedure for the treatment of Hirschsprung's disease (HD) has undergone several important modifications over the years. The use of mechanical suture in recent years has added significant advantages to this surgical procedure. Sixteen patients with HD were operated on according to this surgical technique, from 1985 to 1990. We analyse clinical, radiological and surgical aspects. We concentrate on early and late postoperative complications and the results achieved after a maximum follow-up of 4.5 years.
