  • Anorectal Malformation (ARM) Or Imperforate Anus: Female
    Anorectal Malformation (ARM) or Imperforate Anus: Female Anorectal malformation (ARM), also called imperforate anus (im PUR for ut AY nus), is a condition where a baby is born with an abnormality of the anal opening. This defect happens while the baby is growing during pregnancy. The cause is unknown. These abnormalities can keep a baby from having normal bowel movements. It happens in both males and females. In a baby with anorectal malformation, any of the following can be seen: No anal opening The anal opening can be too small The anal opening can be in the wrong place The anal opening can open into another organ inside the body – urethra, vagina, or perineum Colon Small Intestine Anus Picture 1 Normal organs and structures Picture 2 Normal organs and structures from the side. from the front. HH-I-140 4/91, Revised 9/18 | Copyright 1991, Nationwide Children’s Hospital Continued… Signs and symptoms At birth, your child will have an exam to check the position and presence of her anal opening. If your child has an ARM, an anal opening may not be easily seen. Newborn babies pass their first stool within 48 hours of birth, so certain defects can be found quickly. Symptoms of a child with anorectal malformation may include: Belly swelling No stool within the first 48 hours Vomiting Stool coming out of the vagina or urethra Types of anorectal malformations Picture 3 Perineal fistula at birth, view from side Picture 4 Cloaca at birth, view from the bottom Perineal fistula – the anal opening is in the wrong place (Picture 3).

  • Special Article Recent Advances on the Surgical Management of Common Paediatric Gastrointestinal Diseases
    HK J Paediatr (new series) 2004;9:133-137 Special Article Recent Advances on the Surgical Management of Common Paediatric Gastrointestinal Diseases SW WONG, KKY WONG, SCL LIN, PKH TAM Abstract Diseases of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract remain a major part of the paediatric surgical caseload. Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) and imperforate anus are two indexed congenital conditions which require specialists' management, while gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) is a commonly encountered problem in children. Recent advances in science have further improved our understanding of these conditions at both the genetic and molecular levels. In addition, the increasingly widespread use of laparoscopic techniques has revolutionised the way these conditions are treated in the paediatric population. Here, an updated overview of the pathogenesis of these diseases is provided. Furthermore a review of our experience in the use of laparoscopic approaches in the treatment is discussed. Key words Anorectal anomaly; Gastro-oesophageal reflux; Hirschsprung's disease Introduction obstruction in the neonates.

  • Clinical Teaching Unit 3
    Queen’s University Department of Surgery – Division of General Surgery Rotation Specific Goals and Objectives Clinical Teaching Unit #3 (CTU#3) – Pediatric Surgery Rotation Description The service of pediatric surgery is part of CTU #3. The service is comprised of Drs. Kolar and Winthrop. Dr. Kolar and Dr. Winthrop are available (as per the call schedule) for all surgical patients less than the age of 18 years from 8 am until 5pm. After 5pm the pediatric surgeon is on call for all patients 12 and under. The pediatric surgeons are also available for consult by the surgical residents or adult surgeon on call at any time. If a patient less than the age of 18 years is taken to the OR for trauma, congenital issues or any surgical issue that is complex the pediatric surgeons would like to be contacted. A rotation in Pediatric Surgery will give residents the opportunity to become familiar with the unique needs of infants, children and adolescents as surgical patients. Some of the surgical diseases encountered in children and adolescents are similar in their presentation, management and outcome with their adult counterparts; others are quite different. The fundamental principles of surgical care, however, are similar to those that govern surgical practice in other age groups. Goals: 1. Define the principles of investigation and management of infants, children and adolescents requiring surgical treatment. 2. Gain practical experience in the assessment, management, and indications for surgical treatment of common paediatric conditions. 3. Learn to perform certain paediatric surgical procedures. 4. Learn the principles of decision-making regarding the timing of surgery for infants, children and adolescents with complex paediatric surgical problems, including the preparation and transport to a paediatric surgical centre for neonates requiring correction of congenital anomalies.

A Case of Congenital Imperforate Anus and Absent Vagina with a Functioning Uterus. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1974, 113 (3), 283-289 „Ÿ Vaginoplasty and anoplasty were undertaken in a case (aged 8 years) of imper forate anus and perineal fistula with absence of the vagina by making use of the fistula and rectum and by the pull-through procedure, respectively. The surgical procedures employed are considered to be most appropriate for correction of these deformities. Three years later, however, the patient developed hematometra and hematosalpinx due to a functional uterus present. She underwent hysterectomy combined with left salpingo-oophorectomy. If normal uterus is noted to be present upon laparotomy, it seems important to establish spatial communication between the stump of the vagina constructed and the corpus uteri, to prevent future development of hematometra.-anus; vagina; uterus Imperforate anus complicated with other anomalies is not infrequent. Association with other deformities was reported by Gross (1967) in 198 (39%) of 507 cases of imperforate anus, and by Santulli (1962) in 70 (32%) of 220 cases. However, the imperforate anus and perineal fistula associated with absence of vagina is extremely rare, the incidence being so low as 2•`4 cases according to the above investigators.
