[Sacral proctoplasty in the treatment of anorectal malformations in children]

The paper describes novel procedures for sacroperineal, sacroabdominoperineal and posterosagittal proctoplasties during radical correction of various types of anorectal malformations and their sequelae in children of all age groups, including neonates. Some technical features of their performance are considered and the outcomes of treating 84 children are analyzed. The proposed scheme for surgical treatment allows one to achieve good and satisfactory late functional results in 80 per cent of patients with anorectal atresias and incontinence of feces.
