Anorectal Malformations in Children


The subject of this book is to improve the treatment of children
with anorectal malformations. Since the last edition was published in
1988, the treatment of this frequent disease has changed very much. A
new surgical treatment was introduced by Alberto Pena and edited in
Atlas of Surgical Management of Anorectal Malformations by Springer in
1965. Many genetic and embryological studies have been performed, which
improve our recent knowledge about the etiology and pathogenesis of this
malformation. The diagnostic techniques too changed very much. A number
of syndroms combined with anorectal atresia were detected. In the
present book for the first time rules concerning the postoperative
follow up and management will be discussed..

From the Back Cover

Anorectal Malformations in Children represents an
international consensus in understanding and treating anorectal
malformations. Interesting new topics include tethered cord, vaginal
reconstruction, continent catherizable channels, and the impact on
family studies by parents' organizations. The book not only carries on
from the three previous editions by Douglas Stephens and Durham Smith
(1963, 1971, and 1988) but assembles many new aspects in the broad field
of anorectal and genitourinary malformations. Special attention is
given to the new surgical techniques posterior sagittal anorectal plasty
(PSARP), urogenital sinue advancement, and laparoscopy. A CD-ROM
showing the laparoscopic pullthrough procedure is included. It
also presents for the first time a series of autopsies performed by
Stephens in the 1960s in children with imperforate anus, demonstrating
the individual histological anatomy of each malformation. The results of
an international workshop of 26 international authorities on congenital
malformations of the organs of the pelvis and perineum are presented.
The new classification proposed at theKrickenberg
Conference will enable future studies comparing the types and the
results of treatment of anorectal malformations. The book is an
invaluable reference for all medical authorities with a special interest
in anorectal and genitourinary malformations
