BACKGROUND: @entity1963 is a common cause of neonatal @entity1321 . A variety of operations have been used to treat this neurogenic form of @entity1744 . This report describes an experience with a 1-stage abdominal and transanal pull-through operation in 15 @entity1 with @entity9916 . METHODS: Fifteen @entity1 with @entity1963 included 11 @entity1 and 4 @entity1 . Median age at diagnosis was 3 days, and median age of operation was 30 days. Diagnosis was confirmed by rectal biopsy. Biopsies to confirm the transition zone were performed intraabdominally through a left lower quadrant incision. A Swenson pull-through was performed via transanal dissection. RESULTS: There were no instances of @entity834 , wound @entity86 . All @entity1 survived. Two had @entity86 . Twelve of 15 @entity1 did well and had 2-3 bowel motions per day. One with @entity1467 had @entity1964 and required a colostomy. Two were lost to follow up. CONCLUSIONS: A one-stage transanal pull-through procedure in infancy is a safe alternative to staged procedures for @entity1963 .

Swenson revisited: a one-stage, transanal pull-through procedure for XXXX .
