The association of hindgut duplication and anorectal malformation is rare. Published classifications of this association are confusing in respect of terminology. We report a case of blind-ending, Y-shaped tubular duplication of the distal hindgut, associated with an anorectal malformation (rectourethral fistula) affecting the colon proper. Surgical options at time of presentation and of reconstructive surgery are discussed. A review and suggested modification of the classifications is presented.

Background: The Heineke-Mikulicz anoplasty (HMA) is a technique for addressing skin-level postoperative strictures following posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) and posterior sagittal anorectovaginourethroplasty (PSARVUP). We aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes with HMA as a treatment for postoperative anal strictures.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted for patients with a history of ARM who underwent HMA for skin-level anal strictures.
Objective: To describe our experience with anorectal malformation (ARM) patients, while analyzing complications and risk factors.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study of ARM patients aged 0-18 years old undergoing surgery from 2006 to 2023 was carried out. Demographic variables, associated malformations, age and repair surgery operating times, presence and type of colostomy, previous intestinal preparation, and presence and type of surgical complications -intestinal occlusion, anal prolapse, stenosis, bleeding, dehiscence, extrusion, anoplasty misposition, urethral perforation, and stomal complications- were collected.
Anorectal malformation with rectoperineal fistula in males treated with a posterior rectal advancement anoplasty (PRAA) - report of early outcomes.

Surgery, Colorectal and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery, Children's National Hospital, District of Columbia, United States.
A novel modification of the cutback procedure, a posterior rectal advancement anoplasty (PRAA) for select male patients with an anorectal malformation and a rectoperineal fistula was recently described which incised only within the limits of the sphincteric ellipse and eliminated an anterior rectal dissection, thus avoiding any possibility of a urethral injury. This report provides longer term postoperative outcomes after PRAA. Method A retrospective, single institution study was performed examining male patients with a rectoperineal fistula between 1/2020-12/2023.

Introduction: Bladder stones (BS) in children are a rare condition and represent 1-5 % of all urinary tract stones. With advances in miniaturized endoscopes and intracorporeal lithotripters, percutaneous cystolithotomy has been demonstrated to be an effective, safe and quick technique, despite the longer operative time. This limitation may be overcome by a semi-closed-circuit vacuum-assisted technology (vamPCL), characterized by a continuous inflow and a suction-controlled outflow (ClearPetra®).

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Emma Childrens' Hospital UMC, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Aim of the study To assess the incidence and types of complications and patient-reported outcomes in pediatric patients with therapy-resistant constipation or fecal incontinence (FI) without constipation who underwent Chait TrapdoorTM cecostomy (CTC). The findings contribute to the discussion on selecting the optimal antegrade continence (ACE) procedure for this population. Materials and Methods A retrospective review was conducted on all pediatric patients with therapy-resistant constipation or FI without constipation who underwent a CTC procedure at our tertiary referral center between 2009 and 2023.
