Abstract

Redo pull-through procedures are not without their complications and have results that are satisfactory only in 70 % to 80 % of cases. Persistent obstructive symptoms due to anastomotic stricture are a common indication for redo operation in 30 % to 50 % of cases. Management of stricture following a redo operation can still be a complicated issue with limited available options. One such case is presented and management discussed.
