Hospitals for Sick Children, London, England.

In 10 years, 57 infants with Hirschsprung's disease underwent endorectal pull-through (ERPT). Postoperatively, 3 patients died. Of the 44 survivors with an intact endorectal anastomosis aged more than 3 years, 23 (52%) had an excellent result, and of the 28 children more than 5 years old, 23 (82%) had a satisfactory result. Of the 53 known survivors of all ages, 18% suffered from diarrhea with intermittent incontinence and 5 (9.4%) had undergone a Duhamel procedure within 4 years of ERPT.
