Patients were divided into two groups: ganglionic bowel pull\u2010throughs (Group 1) and transition zone pull\u2010throughs (Group 2). Demographics, presentations, surgical procedure, post\u2010operative results and complications including redo procedures were recorded and reviewed along with histopathology reports.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Fifty patients underwent Soave's pull\u2010through for Hirschsprung's disease in our group. The median age at surgery was 13.5 days in Group 1 and 22.5 days in Group 2. Transition zone pull\u2010through occurred in eight children (16%). Transition zone pull\u2010through was attributed to errors in histologic interpretation (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 5), sampling (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 2) and surgical technique (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 1). The transition zone was significantly longer in Group 2 (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.002). Constipation and enterocolitis were the main complications needing therapy. One child in Group 2 required surgery for adhesive intestinal obstruction.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The length of the transition zone in children with transition zone pull\u2010through was significantly longer. Though our children with transition zone pull\u2010through did not require redo surgery the possibility of redo surgery remains. Transition zone pull\u2010through should still be considered an error and should be prevented.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ans.13745","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,31]],"date-time":"2016-08-31T20:16:46Z","timestamp":1472674606000},"page":"780-783","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Transition zone pull\u2010through in Hirschsprung's disease: a tertiary hospital experience"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"87","author":[{"given":"Dhruva N.","family":"Ghosh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery The Children's Hospital at Westmead  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yingrui","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery The Children's Hospital at Westmead  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel T.","family":"Cass","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery The Children's Hospital at Westmead  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Soundappan S.
