Salvage of Soave-Boley endorectal pull-through by conversion to a classical Soave procedure

J M Laberge et al. Eur J Pediatr Surg. 1996 Dec.

Abstract

The endorectal pull-through procedure described by Soave and subsequently modified by Boley to include primary coloanal anastomosis is one of the most commonly performed procedures for Hirschsprung's disease. The Boley modification carries a 5-10% risk of dehiscence of the colo-anal anastomosis. This is generally treated with proximal colonic diversion and delayed revision of the pull-through. We report the use of the original Soave procedure to treat this complication.
