Abstract :

Anorectal malformations (ARM) refer to a wide variety of congenital anomalies, most commonly referring to imperforate anus. Occurring on average of 1:3500 live births, imperforate anus is described as the failure of the rectum to descend through the external sphincter complex. In surgical history, the first form of management for imperforate anus began in the 7th century with a highly morbid procedure by Paulus Aegineta, and until current day pediatric surgical intervention of ARM has evolved with modifications and updates periodically; attempting to improve our pathophysiological understanding and surgical outcome. Anorectal malformation is a congenital defect that exists in varying presentations. These are of two types, high and low anomalies owing to its severity. The high-type anorectal malformation is divided into two types, with (fistula) and without fistula (no-fistula). Of the categorical presentations, no-fistula type ARM has recently been investigated and reported on as its own disease in the literature; with increasing evidence of distinct associations, risk factors, and anatomical differences with surgical management implications and outcomes. As pediatric surgeons globally have identified unique characteristics associated with no-fistula type ARM, we aim to report our experience with management of this anomaly and its outcome, compared to the more common fistula type ARM.
