ABSTRACT Introduction: Actually the primary laparoscopic endorectal colon pull-through, reported by Georgeson, is the gold standard in the treatment of Hirschsprung’s disease. In this procedure the dissection of the aganglionic colon is performed laparoscopically. We describe a technical modification of the Georgeson procedure: the laparoscopic-assisted mesocolon dissection. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on […]
