Whether or not congenital anal atresia surgery will return to normal depends on the specific condition. Some may return to normal and some may not.
In the case of low anal atresia, if it is detected in a relatively timely manner and the patient’s anal sphincter and pelvic floor muscles have good strength and structure present. With prompt rectoanal plication, it can usually be cured and return to normal.
In the case of moderate to high anal atresia, its treatment is more difficult, and if the patient’s anal sphincter and pelvic floor muscles are weak and deficient, even if the surgery is performed, the patient may not be able to return to normal completely.
In the case of congenital anal atresia combined with other malformations, its treatment is very difficult, such as the combination of vesicovaginal fistula, perineal fistula, rectovaginal fistula, etc., and its probability of returning to normal is not high.
It is recommended that patients who need to do congenital anal atresia go to the hospital in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
