Abstract
Hirschsprung’s disease is a relatively common disease in pediatric colorectal
surgery. The treatment modalities have evolved from third‑stage to single‑stage
in the past three decades. The single‑stage procedure can be performed using
the open, transanal or laparoscopy–assisted techniques. We use these cases to
illustrate the first laparoscopically assisted procedures for Hirschsprung’s disease
in our center. The laparoscopic‑assisted technique is described, and lessons in
collaboration across institutions and within institutions are discussed.
