Abstract
Background: Anorectal malformation (ARM) includes a wide spectrum of anomalies of the anorectal and urogenital region. They are not rarely associated with orthopedic, spinal, and neurologic abnormalities effecting the short- and long-term outcome. anorectoplasty at an early age is important for obtaining a better life quality in ARM patients.
Aim: Aim of the work to study defecation and urinary functional outcome according to timing of correction of ARM.
Patients and Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted at patients with anorectal malformations (perineal fistula, rectourethral fistula, rectovesical fistula, vestibular fistula, no fistula, anal stenosis), at the Ain Shams pediatric surgery department and Qena pediatric surgery unit.
Results: bowel function and quality of life were significantly higher in early correction group compared to late correction group(p<0.001). The mean of the quality of life in the early and late correction groups was 12.83± 0.59 and 11.13± 2.73 respectively.
Conclusion: Early anorectoplasty and early appropriate bowel management is advisable, as that is essential for less fecal and urinary functional complications, and for proper life quality.
