    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Anorectal Physiology

    Background:

    • Establishing normative data for neonatal anatomical measurements is crucial for identifying potential developmental abnormalities.
    • The anus is a key anatomical structure, and its examination at birth can aid in early diagnosis of congenital conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define the range of anal sizes in newborns based on varying body weights.
    • To advocate for the routine and meticulous examination of the neonatal anus.

    Main Methods:

    • Measurement of anal dimensions in a cohort of newborns.
    • Correlation of anal size with infant birth weight.

    Main Results:

    • Normative data for neonatal anal size were established.
    • Variations in anal dimensions were observed in relation to birth weight.

    Conclusions:

    • A baseline for normal neonatal anal size is provided.
    • Routine perinatal anal examination is recommended for all newborns to ensure early detection of anomalies.
