It should be noted that the latter study compared modified procedures (e.g., transanal endorectal pull-through and the Soave procedures) and found incontinence and bowel movement frequency to be significantly lower in patients who had undergone the transanal endorectal pull-through procedure.…”

The use of the protective colonic stoma as the first stage of surgical correction of total colonic aganglionosis has become an alternative in treatment of such patients [9,16]. This approach contributed to better survival, reduced the incidence of ileoanal anastomotic failure and improved functional outcomes.…”
