Popis: To review our surgical experience and outcome of redo pull-through for various postoperative complications of Hirschsprung’s disease. A retrospective study was performed on children who underwent redo pull-through from 2016 to 2019. Operative methods and functional outcomes were compared between those with anastomotic complications (stricture and fistula, n = 12) and patients without anastomotic complications (n = 24) such as residual aganglionosis/transition zone, twisted pull-through and tight soave cuff. 36 Patients (29 male and 7 female) were included with median age 6 (0.1–54) months at primary and 36 (9–144) months at redo pull-through. A transanal rectal mucosectomy and partial internal anal sphincterectomy (TRM-PIAS) pull-through with laparoscopic (n = 10, 27.8%) or laparotomy (n = 26, 72.2%) assisted techniques were performed for all patients during redo procedure. Patients with anastomotic complications had lower incidence of successful laparoscopic pull-through (0%), higher postoperative complications (25%) after redo surgery, but similar functional outcomes compared to those without anastomotic complications (41.6% underwent laparoscopic surgery, 4.2% complications). Patients with partial colectomy had significantly less soiling (36.4%) and enterocolitis (0%) compared to those with subtotal/total colectomy (79.2% soiling and 58.3% enterocolitis). TRM-PIAS with/without laparoscopic-assisted redo pull-through was effective in treating various complications after primary pull-through. The functional outcome is strongly associated with the length of residual colon after redo pull-though.
