  • Background/Purpose: Transanal mucosal proctectomy with low coloanal anastomosis has been used widely in the treatment of rectal malignancies, ulcerative colitis, and familial polyposis. The use of this technique for Hirschsprung's disease is a relatively new concept. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the results of transanal endorectal coloanal anastomosis (TECA) for Hirschsprung's disease from 2 centers. Methods: All children who underwent TECA for Hirsch sprung's disease at Alder Hey Children's Hospital, Liverpool, England from January 1995 to December 1998 (n = 41) and the Children's Hospital, Helsinki, Finland from June 1988 to December 1998 (n = 95) were evaluated. Patient demographics, age at diagnosis, initial management, length of aganglionic segment, and age at operation were documented. Postoperative complications and functional outcome were analyzed. Results: Patient demographics were similar in the 2 centers. Age at diagnosis was less than 1 month in 71% of children at Liverpool, compared with 53% at Helsinki. Sixteen (39%) patients in Liverpool and 75 (79%) patients in Helsinki underwent primary TECA without colostomy. Postoperative enterocolitis occurred in 14 of 136 patients (10%). An ischemic stricture of the colon was documented in 4 children in the Liverpool series, 2 of whom had TECA as a salvage procedure after a previously failed Duhamel pull-through operation. Frequency of bowel movements, seen in the immediate postoperative period in most patients gradually improved with time from a median of 5 (range, 2 to 12) bowel movements a day at 3 months after TECA to 2 (range, 1 to 6) bowel movements a day at 2 years' follow-up. Assessment of continence was possible in 51 of 136 patients (37%) over the age of 4 years. Thirty-nine children had normal bowel function giving an overall success rate of 76%. Conclusions: Transanal endorectal coloanal anastomosis is a good technique for treatment of Hirschsprung's disease with few operation-related complications. Based on the data emerging from these 2 centers the functional outcome is highly satisfactory and comparable with other established procedures. J Pediatr Surg 35:1209-1213. Copyright © 2000 by W.B.
