Patient: After birth, she was found to be anorectal and her bowels were discharged through a fistula. She was operated on at Children’s Medical Center when she was three months old and recovered well after surgery. Please tell me how to improve her bowel function and whether there are other deformities of the intestines according to the above symptoms. Expert: The pathological changes of anorectal malformation are complex, and the postoperative anal function of anorectal malformation is closely related to the type of malformation and the accompanying malformations, especially to the accompanying spinal, genitourinary and neurological developmental defects. The higher the location of anorectal malformation, the higher the incidence and severity of postoperative defecation dysfunction. Therefore, for the treatment of anorectal malformations, in addition to surgical treatment and proper postoperative management, children with defecation dysfunction should be examined in all aspects, have a more objective and accurate assessment of anal function, and actively adopt targeted defecation training to improve defecation control and long-term quality of life.
