Background

Anorectal malformations are one of the most common congenital defects. This study is conducted to demonstrate new technique for treatment of rectovaginal fistula without disturbing the fourchette through posterior sagittal approach.

Method

All the patients of rectovestibular fistula admitted after the neonatal age were treated with posterior sagittal anorectoplasty without opening the fourchette. The results were evaluated for cosmetic appearance and anal continence.

Result

A total of 40 patients were included in our study. All patients were more than 1 month old. Operative time ranges from 70 to 150 minutes. The cosmetic appearance was good. Anal continence was good in 72 % cases and fair in 20 % cases. Fifteen percent of patients had minimal constipation and 7.5 % patients had mucosal prolapse.

Conclusion

Single-stage repair for vestibular anus through posterior sagittal anorectoplasty without opening fourchette has a good cosmetic appearance and good anal continence.
