Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility, safety, advantages, and follow-up of an anterior or posterior sagittal anorectoplasty in low-type ARM (rectoperineal or rectovestibular), performed without colostomy. Prospective collection of data regarding demographics, VACTERL (Vertebral-, Anal-, Cardiac-, Tracheo-Esophageal-, Renal-, Limb malformations) screening, perioperative measurements, surgeons, and complications. In 35 consecutive children (13 boys, 22 girls), repair of a low-type ARM was performed without colostomy. There were 13 boys and 10 girls with a rectoperineal and 12 girls with a rectovestibular fistula. The median age at operation was 4 months (range, 0-73 months); 34% being performed in the newborn period. Seventeen children had one or more other congenital anomaly. Preoperatively, all patients had rectal washouts with oral and rectal neomycin, and perioperative antibiotics, either 24 h (prophylaxis) or for 2 to 5 days.
