    Author: Ortiz VN, Bolaños G, Durán N, Ortiz AN.
    Journal: Bol Asoc Med P R; 1995; 87(10-12):162-3. PubMed ID: 8924159.
    Abstract:
    We presented a one year old seven months old patients that had undergone a double barreled proximal ileostomy-sigmoidostomy after resection of most of the ileum, ascending, transverse and descending colon due to Hirschsprung's enterocolitis; that was admitted for anorectal-sigmoid myotomy and ileosigmoidostomy. The advantages of Kasai's procedure (anorectal myotomy with coloanal anastomosis) over the pull-through procedures to treat Hirschsprung's disease are discussed along with the more pertinent literature.
