Fecal Incontinence after Posterior Sagittal Anorectoplasty for Anorectal Malformation: A Single-Center Study

The Results of Posterior Sagittal Anorectoplasty in Anorectal Malformations

Background: Posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) is the newest and most-widely-used technique for correction of anorectal malformations (ARMs). In the present investigation, the functional outcomes of PSARP and also the relationship between the complications and the sacral ratio (SR) have been studied.

Posterior sagittal anorectoplasty in anorectal anomalies: clinical, manometric and profilometric evaluation.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Anorectal malformations comprise a spectrum of anomalies that continue to be difficult to treat, even today. The aim was to evaluate the fecal continence of children who underwent posterior sagittal anorectoplasty due to anorectal malformations, via computerized anorectal manometry and profilometry.
