Abstract
The EndoGIA 30(V) is a new stapling device that has become commercially available for laparoscopic surgery. An alternative use is the side-to-side colorectal anastomosis in the Duhamel-Martin procedure for Hirschsprung's disease. The authors' experience with the first 12 patients has been such that we plan to continue to use this device in the treatment of Hirschsprung's disease.
