A 12-year-old male patient with a recalcitrant rectal anastomotic stricture following two failed endorectal pull-through (Soave) procedures for Hirschsprung's disease was satisfactorily managed with transanal resection using a circular stapling device. This is the first reported case of a benign colonic anastomotic stricture treated transanally with a circular stapling device in a pediatric patient.
