Objective: To compare treatment outcomes in children with Hirschsprung's disease who underwent treatment using the Duhamel or TERPT surgical procedures. @@@ Methods: Medline, Cochrane, EMBASE, and Google Scholar databases were searched through December 26, 2016. Search strings included Hirschsprung's disease, fecal incontinence, transanal endorectal pull-through, and Duhamel operation. Randomized controlled studies (RCTs) and retrospective studies that compared the treatment of Hirschsprung's disease in with TERPT or Duhamel surgical procedures in neonates, infants, or children were included. @@@ Results: The study included six studies with a total of 280 patients. The meta-analysis indicated that the Duhamel and TERPT interventions were similar with respect to rate of postoperative fecal incontinence (OR = 0.85, 95% CI = 0.37 to 1.92, P = 0.692) and operation time (difference in means = 46.68 min, 95% CI = -26.96 to 114.31, P = 0.226). The Duhamel procedure was associated with longer postoperative hospital stay (Difference in means = 3.14 days, 95% CI = 1.46 to 4.82, P < .001) and a lower rate of enterocolitis (OR = 0.21, 95% = 0.07 to 0.68, P = 0.009) compared with the TERPT procedure. @@@ Conclusions: The study found that Duhamel and TERPT procedures showed similar benefit in treating Hirschsprung's disease, although differences exist with respect to length of postoperative hospital stay and the incidence of enterocolitis.
