Abstract
Surgical correction of Hirschsprung disease can be achieved with a primary, one-stage procedure. The laparoscopy-assisted approach allows for levelling colonic biopsies with proximal colonic and mesorectal dissection. It prevents excessive retraction of the sphincter mechanism, and direct visualisation ensures that the pulled-through portion of bowel has not been twisted.
