Full Definition
Transanal endorectal pull-through is a minimally invasive surgical technique for treating Hirschsprung disease that is performed entirely through the anus without abdominal incisions. The procedure involves endorectal dissection through the anal opening, removal of the aganglionic segment, and primary anastomosis. TARE has gained popularity due to reduced operative time, decreased postoperative pain, and excellent cosmetic results with no visible scars.
