The Duhamel procedure is a surgical operation used to treat Hirschsprung's disease - a congenital condition where ganglion cells are absent from part of the colon, causing functional obstruction. It involves pulling the normal (ganglionic) bowel through behind the rectum and performing a side-to-side anastomosis, preserving the anterior rectal wall while removing the aganglionic segment.
