Age and Weight Stratified Outcomes of Single Stage Endorectal Pull-through Procedures for Hirschsprung's Disease in Children: Analysis of NSQIP-P Data

In brief

This study examines how patient age and weight influence 30-day postoperative outcomes following single-stage endorectal pull-through surgery for Hirschsprung disease in pediatric patients. Using NSQIP-P registry data, researchers analyze complication rates and recovery patterns to help determine optimal surgical timing for this definitive treatment.

• NSQIP-P data analysis identifies optimal timing for single-stage ERPT in Hirschsprung's disease based on age and weight stratification.
• 30-day postoperative outcomes vary significantly with patient age and weight at time of definitive pull-through surgery.
• Single-stage endorectal pull-through can be safely performed when patient factors are appropriately considered.
• National registry data provides evidence-based guidance for surgical timing decisions in HD management.
