The male pre dominance was remarkable. The mean duration of the surgery was 2 h and a half hours. The surgical indication was based on the history, clinical findings and on the contrast enema (transition zone) with a 24 h film (prolonged contrast evacuation) and calculation of the rectosigmoid index (&lt;1). With a mean follow up of 16 months, the morbidity was dominated by soiling, anastomotic strictures and enterocolitis. The mortality in one case was related to a post operative enterocolitis that was not amenable to resuscitation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Soiling, anastomotic strictures and enterocolitis are the main post operative complications of TEPT in the treatment of HD in our practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ajps.ajps_44_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,23]],"date-time":"2024-01-23T09:02:30Z","timestamp":1706000550000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Our Experience of the De la Torre-Mondragon Technique in the Surgical Management of Hirschsprung\u2019s Disease"],"prefix":"10.67481","author":[{"given":"Mouafo Tambo Faustin","family":"F\u00e9licien","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gacelle Fossi","family":"Kamga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eug\u00e9nie Caroline Dikongue","family":"Dikongue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Florence Obono","family":"Ebo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maurice Aur\u00e9lien","family":"Sosso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":null,"reference":[{"key":"R1-20240123","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1283","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3468(98)90169-5","article-title":"Transanal endorectal pull-through for Hirschsprung's disease","volume":"33","author":"De la Torre-Mondrag\u00f3n","year":"1998","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg"},{"key":"R2-20240123","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"187","DOI":"10.1097\/SLA.0b013e3181b13ca2","article-title":"The clavien-dindo classification of surgical complications:Five-year experience","volume":"250","author":"Clavien","year":"2009","journal-title":"Ann Surg"},{"key":"R3-20240123","article-title":"Hirschsprung's disease in children","author":"Ellahya","year":"2011","journal-title":"A study on 43 cases (N\u00b043).
