Article Synopsis
- * Out of 58 children with LF, 10.3% also experienced AAbd, while only 2.8% of children with AAbd had LF.
- * Nonoperative treatment effectively helped 5 out of the 6 children with both conditions, suggesting that AAbd is common in pediatric LF cases and may respond well to conservative management.
Background: Conventional posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) for high anorectal malformation (ARM) involves initial colostomy creation with its attendant complications, but primary PSARP in neonates requires no initial colostomy.
Objectives: To report on locally adapted inclusion criteria and outcomes of primary PSARP in neonates in Benin City.
Materials And Methods: Babies who presented during the first week of life in clinically stable conditions, without cardiac anomaly, and had hemogram and blood chemistry within normal ranges, were included in this prospective study undertaken at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital in 2008-2011.
