We report a rare variety of anorectal malformation, rectal atresia associated with rectovestibular fistula. The case was successfully treated by posterior sagittal repair. The fistula was mobilized and the continuity of the rectum was established by circumferential anastomosis.

Introduction: The perineal body preserving posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) (PPP) is a novel modification of the original PSARP for female patients with rectovestibular fistulas designed to eliminate the risk of perineal body dehiscence. This study aims to examine the outcomes following PPP.
Methods: A retrospective, single-institution study was performed examining female patients with rectovestibular fistula who underwent PPP between January /2020 and December 2023.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the quality of life (QoL) of children who underwent surgical treatment for anorectal malformations (ARMs) at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital in Uganda, focusing on health-related QoL differences based on age and gender.
- Researchers enrolled 88 children aged 3 to 18, using a 23-item PedsQL 4.0 inventory to assess their QoL, finding that rectovestibular fistulas were the most common form of ARM among participants.
- Results showed high average QoL scores (94 out of 100), with better physical and school functioning scores in females; however, the presence of associated anomalies and the need for reoperations were linked to poorer

Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of a one-stage procedure called anterior sagittal sphincter saving anorectoplasty (ASSSARP) for repairing rectovestibular fistula (RVF) in children.
- It reviews 41 cases from 2010 to 2019, detailing postoperative complications, hospital stays, and functional and cosmetic outcomes.
- Findings suggest that ASSSARP has good results, with minimal complications and no need for additional surgeries, making it a preferable option compared to traditional three-stage repair methods.

Anorectal malformations (ARMs) consist of a range of anomalies that are often associated with other anomalies The purpose of the study is to assess the incidence of associated congenital anomalies that are seen in patients with ARMs. An observational prospective study was conducted on 162 cases with ARM from February 2019 to January 2020, and data were collected on patient demographics, type of ARM, and associated anomalies using a prestructured questionnaire and analysis done using SPSS (IBM), version 23, software. Relevant statistical analysis was done, and the results are presented in tables and charts.
