The operative management of pediatric colorectal diseases has improved significantly in recent years through the development of innovative approaches for operative exposure and a better understanding of colorectal anatomy. Advances in transanal and minimal access techniques have formed the cornerstone of this innovation, leading to improved functional outcomes, earlier recovery, and superior cosmetic results for a number of colorectal diseases. In this regard, we have witnessed a significant evolution in the way that many of these conditions are managed, particularly in the areas of anorectal malformations and Hirschsprung disease. Furthermore, a more thorough understanding of the pathophysiology underlying encopresis and true fecal continence has led to novel and less invasive approaches to the operative management of these conditions. The goal of this review is to describe the evolution of operative management pertaining to these diseases, with an emphasis on technical aspects and relevant clinical pitfalls.
