In this review, the care of children with a previously repaired anorectal malformation is explored. We know that the surgical care of children with anorectal malformations is complex; however, despite an increased understanding of the congenital anomaly and significant technical advances in the operative repair, many of these children continue to have poor functional outcomes. In this article we focus on the common surgical complications, discuss typical presentations, consider appropriate investigations, and review the risks and benefits of revisional surgery in those patients that are 'not doing well' following their primary reconstruction.

Background: Anorectal malformations (ARMs) are a common pediatric surgical problem with an incidence of 1:1500 to 1:5000 live births. The phenotypical spectrum extends from anal stenosis to imperforate anus with or without anal fistula to persistent cloaca. They can manifest as either non-syndromic or syndromic conditions.

Introduction: Anorectal malformations (ARM) are an anatomically complex in which anorectum is either agenesic or communicates with neighboring organs. They are rarely found in adolescents. The aim of this study was to describe and discuss according to literature the three cases of ARM in adolescents.

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.

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.
