About this book

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 the Krickenberg 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
