In China, the first report on transanal posterior myotomy of internal sphincter for ultrashort aganglionosis was in 1997,1 while reports of the transanal, single stage, Soave for Hirschsprung＇s disease （HD） began to appear only after Torre＇s paper,2 published in 1998. The transanal endorectal pull through for HD was soon widely used by Chinese paediatric surgeons even in many provincial hospitals and local modifications frequently reported in the literature. From 2001 to 2004, 85 papers on transanal pull through for HD were published, and from 1999 to 2004, 252 patients underwent transanal endorectal operation for HD in our department. After reviewing the literature and analysing the clinical data, we discuss the present status and possible further developments of transanal, single stage,
