The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the surgical and functional outcomes of pure transanal endorectal pull-through (TAERPT) and laparoscopic-assistance endorectal pull-through (LAERPT) in pediatric patients presented with Hirschsprung's Disease between 3 months and 18 years old. The main questions our study aims to answer are: * Does post-operative continence differs between the two groups? * Does post-operative constipation differs between the two groups? * Does post-operative soiling differs between the two groups * Does post-operative enterocolitis differs between the two groups? * Do post-operative complications differ between the two groups? If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare between pure transanal endorectal pull-through (TAERPT) and laparoscopic-assistance endorectal pull-through (LAERPT) to see if there is a difference in post-operative continence, constipation, soiling, enterocolitis or complications. Participants will be divided into two groups; 40 patients will be treated by TAERPT and included in Group A and 30 patients will be treated by LAERPT and included in Group B.
