Optimal timing for soave primary pull-through in short-segment Hirschsprung disease: A meta-analysis

This meta-analysis of 780 infants examines optimal timing for Soave endorectal pull-through in short-segment Hirschsprung disease. Infants under 2.5 months at surgery showed significantly higher rates of soiling, anastomotic stricture, and leak compared to older infants, suggesting delayed surgery may improve outcomes.
