INTRODUCTION: @entity1 with late-presenting @entity1963 ( @entity1963 ) are classically treated by a staged operation with enterostomy. An alternative may be one-stage laparoscopy-assisted endorectal pull-through, which has cosmetic advantages. This case-series report describes the outcomes of @entity1 with late-presenting @entity1963 who underwent this procedure. PRESENTATION OF CASES: Eight older (>3 years) @entity1 (five males, three females) underwent one-stage laparoscopy-assisted endorectal pull-through in 2010-2012. A retrospective review revealed their median age was 9.9 (range, 3.4-14) years. The transitional zone was rectosigmoid junction in 4 @entity1 , and was rectum in 4 @entity1 . For bowel preparation, five @entity1 required rectal irrigation under general anesthesia. The median operating time was 263min. There were no intraoperative or early post-operative complications. @entity1 started a diet a median of 5 days after the operation and were discharged a median of 11.5 days. During the median follow-up period of 37 months, seven (87.5%) had acquired @entity717 and 12.5% had grade 1 soiling. However, five (62.5%) of the @entity1 still had @entity1142 . The @entity1142 was manageable with diet or laxatives in four @entity1 but one @entity1 continued to require regular enemas. DISCUSSION: One-stage laparoscopy-assisted endorectal pull-through in late-presenting @entity1963 was feasible, even in @entity1 with large fecaloma with @entity3885 . Rectal irrigation under general anesthesia and the use of laparoscopy and a @entity162 help to overcome the technical difficulties of this procedure. CONCLUSION: One-stage laparoscopy-assisted endorectal pull-through in @entity1 with late-presenting short segment @entity1963 is feasible and safe.
