Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Congenital Malformations
  • Urology

Background:

  • Anorectal malformations (ARMs) represent a spectrum of congenital anomalies.
  • Rectourinary perineal fistula is a rare variant requiring specific diagnostic and management approaches.

Observation:

  • Two pediatric patients presented with a unique anorectal malformation.
  • The condition was termed rectourinary perineal fistula.
  • One patient had a severe rectovesicoperineal fistula; the other had a lesser rectourethroperineal fistula.

Findings:

  • The first patient with rectovesicoperineal fistula was followed for 28 years.
  • The second patient with rectourethroperineal fistula was followed for 19 years.
  • Long-term follow-up provides valuable data on the natural history and outcomes of this malformation.

Implications:

  • This case series highlights the importance of recognizing and classifying rectourinary perineal fistula.
  • Long-term follow-up is crucial for understanding the functional outcomes and potential complications.
  • Further research may elucidate optimal surgical strategies and long-term management protocols for rectourinary perineal fistula.
