Alternative Names: Anorectal malformation; Anal atresia Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Imperforate anus is a malformation of the anorectal region that may occur in several forms. The rectum may end in a blind pouch that does not connect with the colon. Or, it may have openings to the urethra, bladder, base of penis or scrotum in boys, or vagina in girls. A condition of stenosis (narrowing) of the anus or absence of the anus may be present.

There are two types of imperforate anus; a low type and a high type. The low type imperforate anus repair is illustrated. Review Date: 06/25/01 Reviewed By: A.D.A.M. Medical Illustration Team 2650 Ridge Avenue Evanston, IL 60201 Site Map Email Us! Procedure Surgical repair involves creating an opening for passage of stool. Complete absence of an anal opening requires emergency surgery for the newborn. Surgical repairs are done while the baby is deep asleep and pain-free (using general anesthesia). Surgery for a high type imperforate anus defect usually involves creation of a temporary opening of the large intestine (colon) onto the abdomen to allow passage of stool (this is called a colostomy). The baby is allowed to grow for several months before attempting the more complex anal repair.
