• TITLE: An Updated “Historical” Algorithm for Hirschsprung Pa-tients Who Present Late or Severely Ill

  AUTHORS: Samuel M. Alaish, Eric D. Strauch, Steven Stylianos

  KEYWORDS: Hirschsprung’s Disease; Algorithm; Transanal Soave

  JOURNAL NAME: International Journal of Clinical Medicine, Vol.4 No.7B, July 16, 2013

  ABSTRACT: Some children with previously undiagnosed Hirschprung’s disease present severely ill at an advanced age with markedly dilated bowel and enterocolitis. In this manuscript, the authors propose the following treatment algorithm: 1) a diverting transverse loop colostomy, 2) a transanal Soave endorectal pull-through, and 3) colostomy closure. The authors report their experience with five patients.
