    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Colorectal Surgery
    • Surgical Anatomy

    Background:

    • Anorectal anomalies present complex surgical challenges.
    • The posterior sagittal approach has emerged as a key technique for repair.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of the posterior sagittal approach in treating anorectal anomalies.
    • To describe the surgical technique and its anatomical considerations.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical intervention using the posterior sagittal midline approach in 34 patients from October 1980 to November 1981.
    • Identification and splitting of external sphincter layers and levator muscles via electrostimulation.
    • Tailoring of dilated terminal bowel and reconstruction of the anal canal.

    Main Results:

    • The posterior sagittal approach provided excellent exposure for bowel mobilization and reconstruction.
    • Successful construction of the anal canal with reduced rates of prolapse and stenosis.
    • Transrectal closure of rectourethral fistulas in males avoided damage to vital nerves and genital structures.

    Conclusions:

    • The posterior sagittal approach is a highly effective surgical technique for anorectal anomalies.
    • This method allows for precise anatomical reconstruction, minimizing postoperative complications.
    • Specific modifications for rectourethral fistulas preserve critical neurovascular structures.
