Robot-Assisted surgery showdown: which fix works best for rare bowel disease?

This study compares two surgical techniques—Duhamel and Soave—for treating total colonic Hirschsprung disease, a severe birth defect where nerve cells are missing from the colon. Fifty children who had a first surgery as newborns will receive one of the two procedures. Researchers will track bowel function and infection rates for two years to see which method works better.
