About Hirschsprung Disease (Pull-Through)
Pull-through surgery for Hirschsprung disease removes the section of bowel without nerve cells and joins healthy bowel to the anus. It treats babies and children who cannot pass stool normally because part of the colon is not working.
The surgeon removes or bypasses the affected segment, which cannot relax and push stool along, and brings healthy bowel down to just above the anus. Common techniques are the Soave, Swenson and Duhamel operations, and many are done through the anus, with laparoscopic help, or in one stage. Some babies first need a colostomy and a second operation later.
Usually a good fit if
- Babies and children with biopsy-proven Hirschsprung disease and constipation or enterocolitis.
- Children stable on washouts or a stoma and ready for definitive surgery.
- Children whose nutrition and general health are suitable for anaesthesia.
- Families able to attend regular follow-up.
May need to wait if
- Active enterocolitis or sepsis, which must be stabilised first.
- Poor nutrition or low weight that needs correction.
- Total colonic aganglionosis, which needs specialist planning.
- Anaesthetic risks from heart or other conditions.
How to prepare
- Bring the rectal biopsy report, contrast enema images and any earlier colostomy records.
- Check your child's nutrition and weight; infections of the bowel (enterocolitis) should be treated first.
- Ask whether bowel washouts are needed before surgery to keep the colon empty.
- Complete blood tests and anaesthetic review, including checks for associated conditions such as Down syndrome.
- Learn about colostomy care and washouts if your child has them.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- How long is the abnormal segment, and what is your plan for the pull-through?
- Will you use a transanal, laparoscopic or open approach?
- Do we need a stoma first, and how long would it stay?
- How often does enterocolitis occur after surgery, and how can I recognise it?
- What will bowel function be like in the long run?
- What follow-up and bowel management can be done at home?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- Surgery planned without a rectal biopsy confirming the diagnosis.
- No paediatric surgeon or neonatal and paediatric intensive care.
- The team does not explain the signs of enterocolitis to parents.
- Pathology unable to confirm the transition zone during surgery.
