Two patients who presented with a unique anorectal malformation are described. They had what we have named rectourinary perineal fistula. The first patient had a more severe malformation, rectovesicoperineal fistula, and has been followed up for 28 years. The second, with a lesser malformation, rectourethroperineal fistula, has been followed up for 19 years.

Persistent Cloaca and Cloacal Variants in Males: Qualitative Review of a Neglected Anomaly.

Context: Cloacal malformations are rare and are typically reported in females. There are a few scattered reports in males. It is not clear why they are so rare in males since both sexes negotiate this stage of embryonal development.

Purpose: Prone cross-table lateral x-ray (CTLxR) and colostogram aid surgical planning for anorectal malformations (ARMs) without perineal fistulas. We suggest objective imaging tools to classify ARMs.
Methods: Three observers prospectively evaluated CTLxR and colostograms of male ARM patients (2012-2022) without perineal fistulas.

Background: Surgical safety during posterior sagittal anorectal plasty (PSARP) for anorectal malformations (ARM) depends on accurate pre-operative fistula localization. This study aimed to evaluate accuracy of pre-operative fistula diagnostics.
Methods: Ethical approval was obtained.
Video-Endoscopic Mobilization of the Gracilis Muscle for Rectourinary Fistula Repair.

Introduction: Transposition of the gracilis has been used in a large number of reconstructive procedures. Its advantage is its proximity to these defects and a good blood supply. Traditionally, the gracilis mobilization is performed by open surgery with one or more incisions.

One-stage anorectoplasty provides maximum potential for "normal" defecation reflexes right at birth and avoids complications and problems of colostomy. One-stage laparoscopic anorectoplasty (OSLARP) for rectourinary fistula (RUF) is restricted by distended bowel obscuring the working space for laparoscopy. This study describes transperineal intracath meconiolysis and evacuation (TIME) technique for OSLARP in the treatment of RUF in neonates.
