The purpose of this report is to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of a single-stage laparoscopic pull-through for Hirschsprung's disease compared to the traditional two-stage Duhamel procedure. In this series of 33 children, the length of hospitalization (2.5 ± 3.5 vs 10.6 ± 3.9, p<0.0 1), cost (19,088 ± 13,075 vs 34,110 ± 19,443, p<0.05), and complications were all significantly less with the laparoscopic assisted pull-through compared to the more traditional open approach.
