    Area of Science:

    • Colorectal Surgery
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Anal sensation is crucial for maintaining fecal continence.
    • Anal prolapse can occur after surgical correction of high anorectal anomalies.
    • Restoring anal sensation is a key challenge in managing these complex cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new surgical technique for anal canal reconstruction.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of using patient's foreskin for creating a skin-lined anal canal.
    • To assess the impact of this secondary procedure on fecal control in patients with anal prolapse.

    Main Methods:

    • A secondary operative procedure involving foreskin grafting to create a neo-anal canal was performed.
    • The technique was applied to patients with recurrent anal prolapse post-anorectal anomaly surgery.

  • Outcomes were assessed in five patients treated between 1967 and 1979.

    • Main Results:

    • The described operative method successfully created a skin-lined anal canal in the treated patients.
    • The procedure was performed as a secondary intervention for anal prolapse.
    • Initial results in five patients demonstrated the feasibility of the technique.

    Conclusions:

    • Creating a skin-lined anal canal using foreskin is a viable secondary procedure for managing anal prolapse.
    • This technique may offer a solution for improving fecal control in select patients.
    • Further studies with longer follow-up are warranted to fully assess long-term outcomes.
