    Summary

    Real-time sonography is a noninvasive technique to assess imperforate anus in neonates. This method helps determine the obstruction level, distinguishing between low and high lesions based on specific measurements.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical imaging
    • Pediatric surgery
    • Neonatal diagnostics

    Background:

    • Imperforate anus is a congenital anomaly requiring precise diagnostic evaluation.
    • Accurate localization of the rectal pouch is crucial for surgical planning.
    • Noninvasive methods are preferred for neonatal assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a real-time sonography technique for evaluating imperforate anus.
    • To establish sonographic criteria for classifying lesion height.
    • To demonstrate the utility of ultrasound in neonatal surgical planning.

    Main Methods:

    • Real-time sonography was utilized in 6 neonates with imperforate anus.
    • Measurements of the pouch-perineum distance were recorded.
    • The termination point of the rectal pouch relative to the bladder base was assessed.

    Main Results:

    • Sonography effectively determined the level of rectal obstruction.
    • A pouch-perineum distance < 1.5 cm indicated a low imperforate anus lesion.
    • Pouch termination above the bladder base suggested a high imperforate anus lesion.

    Conclusions:

    • Real-time sonography is a valuable noninvasive tool for assessing imperforate anus.
    • Sonographic measurements provide reliable differentiation between low and high rectal lesions.
    • This technique aids in preoperative planning for neonatal surgical correction.
