Gynecologic concerns in patients with anorectal malformations.

Abstract:

:Children with anorectal malformations (ARMs) constitute a significant group within a pediatric surgery practice. In females, the most common ARM is an imperforate anus with a rectovestibular fistula, followed by an imperforate anus with a rectoperineal fistula and then cloacal anomalies. Some malformations, such as an imperforate anus with a rectovestibular fistula, may seem straightforward, treated with a posterior sagittal anorectoplasty; however, it is vital to recognize the association with gynecologic anomalies. Girls with the most complex anorectal defect, cloacal malformation, have significant associated urological and gynecologic anomalies, which should be recognized and treated. An opportunity to diagnose and treat such anomalies may be missed in the newborn period or at the definitive surgery, unless the pediatric surgeon is aware of this association. With the knowledge of the associated anomalies and long-term sequelae, surgeons can provide better care for girls and important counseling for parents. Important gynecologic issues to consider may be divided into several categories, such as infancy, puberty, sexual intimacy, and obstetrical concerns. Knowledge of reproductive-related issues in females with ARMs allows the pediatric surgeon and their gynecology colleagues to provide optimal surgical management throughout infancy, childhood, and into young adulthood. Appropriate counseling for patients and families about potential reproductive concerns that may develop many years after the definitive surgical repair allows preparation and planning to preserve future fertility.
