Traditional treatment of short segment Hirschprungs disease in adult consists of major resectional procedures, often with the use of a temporary stoma. Patients with this disease may have significant morbidities that increase their risk of post‐operative morbidity and mortality. In an attempt to minimize the procedural related morbidity, we describe the application of the stapled anopexy technique to treat short segment Hirschprungs disease.
