Abstract
Hirschsprung's disease is a pathology characterized by the absence of ganglion cells in a variable segment of the large intestine, producing mainly the symptom of constipation and is usually diagnosed until the first year of life. We report the case of a young adult patient diagnosed at 18 years old with Hirschsprung disease with symptoms of constipation and involuntary fecal loss since the age of 5 years and who underwent videolaparoscopic surgical treatment by the Duhamel-Haddad technique, evolving with significant improvement in postoperative symptoms. This result demonstrates that the videolaparoscopic technique is feasible. Keywords: Hirschsprung's disease; Megacolon Aganglionic; Constipation; Laparoscopy; Penetrating wound.
