BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to retrospectively review the classification, surgical experience, and the functional outcome of anorectal malformations (ARMs) according the type of ARM.
METHODS: A total of 311 children (M:F=200:111) who underwent surgical treatment for ARM between 1990 and 2011 were reviewed. Functional outcomes were evaluated using the Krickenbeck classification. The mean follow-up period was 112.2 ± 76.7months (range: 36.8-414.9months).
RESULTS: In the male patients, 90 (45%) had perineal fistulas, 60 (30%) had urethral fistulas, and 7 (3.5%) had rectovesical fistulas. There were 17 cases of ARM without a fistula (8.5%), and we could not determine the type of fistula in 26 boys (13%) because of follow-up losses and death. In the female patients, 34 (30.6%) had perineal fistulas, 71 (64%) had rectovestibular fistulas, and 2 (1.8%) had rectovaginal fistulas. Four patients did not have a fistula (3.6%). For 264 patients, we did anoplasty (121 cases), fistula transposition (14 cases), and posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP, 129 cases). We found that 224 (84.8%) patients showed voluntary bowel movements. The overall rate for constipation was 30.7% and for soiling was 6.5%. The continence outcome was good for 82.2% of children, fair for 2.7%, and poor for 15.2%. For rectovestibular fistulas, constipation was higher in the perineal operation group, but the continence outcome was similar.
CONCLUSION: Through a review of 20years' experience, an accurate diagnosis based on the Krickenbeck classification and operations following the principles of PSARP are crucial to achieve a good functional outcome in children with an ARM.
