Laparoscopically Assisted Anorectoplasty Using Perineal Ultrasonographic Guide

Abstract

Summary:Background/Purpose : As minimal invasive surgery, laparoscopy assisted anorectal pull-through has been reported with new devices. However, it is not easy to create an accurate pull-through canal (PTC), because of the narrow space between the urethra and puborectal sling. The authors describe a new method employing perineal ultrasonography.
