Abstract
Anorectal malformation are common congenital problems occurring in 1 in 5,000 births
and have a spectrum of anatomical presentations, requiring individualized treatments
for the newborn, sophisticated approaches to the definitive reconstruction, and management
of long-term treatments and outcomes. Associated anomalies related to the cardiac,
renal, gynecologic, orthopedic, spinal, and sacral systems impact care and prognosis.
Long-term results are good provided there is an accurate anatomical reconstruction
and a focus on maximizing of functional results.
