Purpose: First, to assess the number of patients with anorectal malformations (ARM) in whom additional urological and/or gynecological anomalies were identified through routine screening with cysto- or vaginoscopy prior to reconstructive surgery. Second, to assess potential procedure-related complications.
Methods: Retrospective mono-center cohort study, including all ARM patients born between January 2019 and December 2022.
Study Objective: In girls born with an anorectal malformation (ARM), anatomical gynecological anomalies (GA) may be present and might need treatment. Therefore, the aim of this study was to provide an overview of GA in girls born with ARM in our cohort. Additionally, diagnostic timing and methods for GA were assessed.

Methods: This survey was developed in collaboration with the national patient advocacy group (PAG).
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of spinal cord anomalies, particularly tethered spinal cord, in patients with anorectal malformations using spinal cord imaging methods.
- A total of 254 patients were analyzed, with 234 (92.1%) receiving spinal cord imaging, revealing that 22.2% had a spinal cord anomaly.
- The findings suggest that screening for spinal cord anomalies is essential for all patients with anorectal malformations, regardless of their condition's complexity.
Objective: Discussion remains on how to advise women with a past medical history of surgically corrected anorectal malformations (ARMs) regarding vaginal delivery. The aim of this review is to evaluate and review the reported obstetrical complications and outcomes after vaginal delivery for these women.
