Summary:The authors perform a retrospective study with a 4 years follow up of 46 patients operated of Hirschsprung's disease (HD). In 36 cases by with staplers Rehbein technique (TR) and in 10 others with De la Torre endorectal pull-through (TEPT). In all them diagnosis was achieved by mean of radiology, manometry, and hystochemical procedures. During the surgical procedure was performed in all cases biopsies to confirm the neuronal integrity of the colon descended. In the TR group, 16.6% of patients presented rectal achalasia with constipation due to 3 cms. aganglionic rectum remnant, while in the TEPT group this circumstance are not presented because all aganglionic rectum was eliminated. Otherwise TEPT technique permits an earlier application, diminuend the hospitalization time,shortening the start of feeding and with a good cosmetic result. None of this patients presented infection, stenosis, bleeding or incontinence.
