Anterior sagittal anorectoplasty (ASARP) effectively treats rare perineal canal (PC) anomalies in children. This surgical approach leads to good functional outcomes, including normal bowel habits and fecal continence.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Congenital Anomalies
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Perineal canal (PC) is a rare anorectal malformation, accounting for 4% of cases.
  • PC presents with fecal matter passage through both the anus and a fistula.
  • Previous unsuccessful surgeries may complicate PC management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of anterior sagittal anorectoplasty (ASARP) for treating perineal canal (PC) anomalies.
  • To assess the long-term functional outcomes and continence in patients undergoing ASARP for PC.
  • To analyze the surgical management and outcomes of PC in a pediatric cohort.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 60 patients with PC managed over 27 years.
  • All patients treated with anterior sagittal anorectoplasty (ASARP).

  • Surgical approach individualized based on perineal inflammation; primary ASARP or delayed surgery.

    • Main Results:

    • ASARP allowed accurate repair in 60 patients (56 female, 4 male).
    • 50 patients achieved fecal continence and normal defecation post-surgery.
    • Long-term follow-up (up to 3 years) confirmed sustained continence and normal bowel habits in 34 patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Anterior sagittal anorectoplasty (ASARP) is a successful surgical technique for perineal canal (PC) anomalies.
    • Individualized management via ASARP yields excellent functional results and continence.
    • ASARP offers a reliable solution for this uncommon anorectal malformation.
