NCT ID NCT07343622
First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study compares two surgical techniques—Duhamel and modified 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 be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. Researchers will track bowel function and rates of a serious complication called enterocolitis over two years to see which method works better.
