18. Clinical and paraclinical characteristics of intermediate-type anorectal malformations undergoing a modified posterior sagittal anorectoplasty with preserved sphincter
Main Article Content
Abstract
Anorectal malformations composed of several types, with different clinical and paraclinical symptoms. Therefore, this research describes clinical and paraclinical characteristics of anorectal malformation of intermediate type in children undergoing PSARP modification keeping the sphincter intact. We conducted this retrospective study to describe cases series by collecting data from medical records of 41 patients with anorectal malformation of intermediate type, treated by PSARP modified. Results showed that the average age was 77.4 days (range 9 - 319 days). Full-term babies accounted for 95.1% and 92.7% of babies had birth weight ≥ 2500 grams. Average weight was 4.4kg (from 2.4 to 8.0kg), urine meconium was 14.6%, anal deem was 95.1%, and cardiovascular malformations were 19.6%. Additionally, there was urinary malformations at 2.4%, esophageal atresia at 2.4% and there was 1 case of Down syndrome. Thus, clinical and paraclinical symptoms provide necessary information for surgical procedures.
