AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed patients with tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) and anorectal malformation (ARM), focusing on factors like age, sex, surgical outcomes, and mortality.
- The research involved a retrospective review of 236 patients between 2012 and 2017, identifying 25 cases linked to EA (esophageal atresia) for closer examination.
- Findings indicated an 11.1% occurrence of TEF with ARM, primarily in males, with most patients having Type c ARMs; causes of mortality were mainly cardiac issues and pneumonia related to delayed diagnosis.
Article Abstract
Aim: We had done this study for TEF with Anorectal malformation and TEF with no Anorectal malformation in terms of age, sex, surgical outcomes and mortality.
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective review of cases with clinical data (from April 2012 to April 2017). The participants of this study were 236 patients who had been diagnosed and managed for ARM. Among these patients, 25 patients associated with EA were selected as the subject patient group.
Results: The incidence of tracheoesophageal fistula with ARM was 11.1%. The study has more male preponderance. All cases are of Type c except two cases of Type a. According to the classifications of ARMs, there were two cases with rectourethral fistula and eight cases with rectoperineal fistula and covered anus in the males. In females, there was a varied distribution of seven cases. There was one case (4%) presenting as a part of the Vertebral anorectal malformation cardiac tracheoesophageal renal and limb anomalies (VACTERL) association, which is the representative example of a complex anomaly. Most of the cases died due to cardiac problem and pneumonitis (due to delayed presentation).
Conclusion: The study concludes the experience of EA (±fistulae) with ARM, their distribution, incidence and outcome of the tertiary care centre.

Cloaca is an ultra-rare severe anorectal malformation in females where the gastrointestinal, genital, and urologic systems converge. Posterior Cloaca (Type B) is an extremely rare specific variant, where the urogenital sinus opens just anterior to the anus. NCHi027-A is an iPSC line derived from skin fibroblasts of a 4 year and 8-month-old female with Posterior Cloaca (Type B) using Sendai Virus reprogramming.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify surgical site infection (SSI) risk factors after anal reconstruction surgery in patients with anorectal malformations (ARMs).
Methods: This retrospective analysis from January 2013 to December 2022, including all pediatric surgical facilities in Hokkaido, Japan, examined consecutive patients with ARMs, excluding cloacal cases, regarding perioperative and SSI factors during their initial anal reconstruction surgeries.
Results: This study involved 157 cases of major clinical groups and 7 cases of rare/regional variants, among whom 4% developed SSIs.

Introduction Pediatric robotic colorectal surgery has rapidly evolved, offering enhanced precision and safety for treating complex conditions such as Hirschsprung disease (HSCR), anorectal malformations (ARM), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This review analyzes recent trends, outcomes, and complications in robotic colorectal procedures for pediatric patients. Materials and Methods A systematic review was performed using PubMed, yielding 1,112 articles related to pediatric robotic colorectal surgery.

Traumatic perineal injuries are rare but can result in significant morbidity, particularly when the anal sphincter is injured. The management of such injuries in the pediatric population is rarely noted in the literature. We aimed to describe reconstruction in such patients using lessons learned in reoperative anorectal malformation surgery.

Introduction: Disparities in anorectal malformation (ARM) outcomes between high- and low-income countries may be due to delayed diagnosis in the latter setting. The Three Delays model, comprising delays in seeking, accessing, and receiving care, provides a framework for exploring these challenges. We sought to examine the frequency and nature of the preoperative delays in children presenting for surgical correction of low ARMs.
