“…[17] The data from three major databases in Europe and Canada (EUROCAT, [18] British Columbia Registry, [19] Alberta Congenital Anomalies Surveillance System [17] ) showed an incidence of 1/2200-1/2500. The theory of preventing anorectal malformations via daily diet has attracted the interest of researchers.…”

“…The worldwide incidence of ARM is quote as 2-6 per 10,000 live births [3], although variability exists between countries, registers and years reported [4][5][6]. The International Clearing House Annual Report (2012) reported a birth prevalence of between 1.9 and 5.25 per 10,000 for 2010 in Italy depending on the region [3].…”

Purpose Aim of study was to evaluate the differences in incidence and presentation of anorectal malformations (ARMs) between selected Pediatric Surgery Divisions in the Republic of South Africa (ZAR) and Italy. Methods A retrospective cohort study involved analysis of clinical records of patients with ARM born between 2005 and 2012. Type of ARM, maternal age, birth weight, gestational age, presence of associated anomalies and delayed diagnosis were analyzed. Results 335 patients were included in this study. Of note, statistically significant differences between the African and European patient groups were observed in a male predominance in the ZAR patient population. In addition, female recto-perineal fistulas were diagnosed in significantly more Italian patients than in ZAR. Furthermore, a more advanced maternal age and a lower gestational age was noted in the European cohort with a minimal delay in initial diagnosis as opposed to the African counterpart. Both centers reported recto-perineal fistula as the most common malformation in male patients. Conclusion With the exception of perineal fistulas in females, the incidence of specific subtypes of ARMs was similar in the two groups. This may be of importance when extrapolating European study conclusion to the South African setting.

Introduction: Ano-rectal malformation (ARM) comprises a wide spectrum of diseases that involves the distal anus and rectum as well as the urinary and genital tracts. The factors that need to be considered during treatment are the type of anomaly, associated anomalies and patients general condition. The aim of this study is to analyze the types of anorectal malformations and their management in a tertiary level children's hospital. Materials and Methods: The medical records of patients with the diagnosis of anorectal malformation managed in the hospital during a period of January 2009 to January 2014 were reviewed. Results: There were 187 cases of ARM 126 (67.37%) males and 61 (32.62%) females. High/Intermediate type was 129 (68.98%). Low ARM was 58 (31.01%). In male high type ARM with recto-urethral fistula was seen in 60 (47.61%). ARM with Rectovestibular fistula(RVF) was seen in 40 (65.5%) female. High and intermediate ARMs were managed initially with colostomy and low ARM with primary anoplasty. ARM with rectovestibular fistula in females were managed with Anterior Sagittal Anorectoplasty without colostomy. Common cloaca in female was managed initially with colostomy followed by posterior sagittal ano-recto-vagino-urethroplasty. Colostomy closure was done after adequate size of anus was achieved with anal dilation. Conclusion: The type of ARM in newborn is diagnosed by perineal examination and X-rays. Low type ARM was managed by primary surgery without colostomy. High anomaly and complex defect was treated with stage surgeries.
