ABSTRACT
Hirschsprung disease (HD) is a congenital disorder characterized by the absence of ganglion cells in the distal colon and rectum, leading to functional obstruction and severe constipation. Over the past decades, the surgical management of HD has significantly evolved, with minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques revolutionizing treatment approaches. This review explores recent innovations in MIS for HD, focusing on laparoscopic, transanal endorectal pull-through (TERPT), and robotic-assisted techniques. These approaches offer numerous advantages over traditional open procedures, including reduced surgical trauma, improved cosmesis, faster recovery times, and potentially lower complication rates. Laparoscopic surgery has become widely adopted, providing excellent visualization and precise dissection. TERPT has gained popularity for short-segment disease, offering a completely transanal approach with minimal scarring. Robotic-assisted surgery represents the cutting edge, enhancing surgical precision and dexterity. The review also examines emerging technologies and future directions, such as advanced imaging techniques, artificial intelligence applications, and potential developments in tissue engineering. While MIS techniques have shown promising outcomes, challenges remain in standardizing approaches, addressing long-segment disease, and optimizing long-term functional results. The future of HD surgery lies in personalized approaches that integrate genetic and molecular profiling with advanced surgical technologies. As the field continues to evolve, comprehensive long-term studies and efforts to improve access to specialized care will be crucial to further enhancing outcomes for patients with HD.
