Management of Imperforate Anus with Recto-urethral Fistula

Abstract

Since 1958, 18 boys and 7 girls with high level imperforate anus and fistula and one girl with anorectal stenosis and recto-vaginal fistula have had an abdomino-transanal procedure with intrarectal pull-through performed. The time lapse since operation is too short to make definite statements on the functional results. So far 15 children have developed rectal sensation and have had normal and regular bowel evacuations without or with occasional soiling.
