BACKGROUND: Subtotal colectomy combined with modified Duhamel procedure (Jinling procedure) was used in patients with adult Hirschsprung's disease (AHD) at Jinling Hospital in the last decade. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety, effectiveness and quality of life of Jinling procedure for AHD. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All the data are from the database of the Jinling Hospital Constipation Registry System. Primary outcomes, including safety (morbidity and adverse events), effectiveness (satisfaction rate, Wexner constipation scale (WCS) and bowel function score (BFS)) and gastrointestinal quality of life index (GIQLI), were all evaluated. RESULTS: Fifty-nine patients were available for this study and the mean postoperative period was 44 months. Seventeen major complications were found in 11 patients and most of the complications could be managed conservatively. A significant improvement in WCS, BFS and GIQLI at 6 months postoperatively was obtained. CONCLUSION: Jinling procedure is safe and effective for AHD.
