  • Title: Transanal circular-stapled reanastomosis as a management alternative for anastomotic colonic strictures: a novel technique in the pediatric patient.
    Author: Lugo-Vicente H, Zequeira JJ, Joalex A.
    Journal: Bol Asoc Med P R; 2010; 102(1):56-8. PubMed ID: 20853576.
    Abstract:
    A 12-year-old male patient with a recalcitrant rectal anastomotic stricture following two failed endorectal pull-through (Soave) procedures for Hirschsprung's disease was satisfactorily managed with transanal resection using a circular stapling device. This is the first reported case of a benign colonic anastomotic stricture treated transanally with a circular stapling device in a pediatric patient.
