Rectovestibular Fistula

Background The authors of this article became aware of significant differences in the management of two females with a rectovestibular fistula and associated vaginal agenesis. In one patient, a sigmoid colovaginoplasty was performed at the time of the posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP), and the other underwent repair of the rectovestibular fistula with a primary PSARP, but the surgeons elected to delay the timing of vaginal reconstruction. We decided to review the literature, to establish if recommendations could be made to optimize the management of these children based on current evidence. Methods A literature review was conducted to determine the management and long-term outcomes in patients with an anorectal malformation and associated vaginal atresia. Specific gynecological outcomes assessed were menstrual egress and adequacy of the vaginal replacement for penile–vaginal intercourse. Results Eighty-eight cases were included in the review. Age at diagnosis had a bimodal distribution: 0 to 5 years, 56%; >10 years, 37%. Vaginal atresia was recognized before the operation in 45 patients. Types of vaginal atresia encountered were: (a) distal vaginal atresia (n = 17), (b) vaginal agenesis with absent Mullerian development (n = 47), (c) vaginal agenesis with variable Mullerian development (n = 17), and (d) cervico-vaginal agenesis (n = 7). Types of vaginal replacement used were sigmoid colovaginoplasty (n = 26), distal rectal fistula as neovagina (n = 30), terminal ileum (n = 5), vaginal pull-through (n = 9), and others/unknown (n = 8). Two patients followed a perineal dilatation program and nine patients await reconstruction. Median follow-up was 18 months (6 weeks to 31 years). Long-term menstrual outcomes were reported in 18 (21%) patients. Sexual function was reported in 10 (11%) patients. Three pregnancies were reported but none resulted in live births. Conclusion Vaginal atresia is often missed in association with ARMs. Management should be in collaboration with pediatric gynecologists. Due to a lack of long-term outcome data, no definite conclusion can be drawn for the best technique, tissue, or timing of vaginal replacement. The opportunity to perform vaginal replacement in conjunction with the rectal repair may be worth considering because of a shallower pelvis, nonscarred tissue planes, and the excellent surgical exposure.

Background and Objectives: Antibiotic prophylaxis is a common practice in children undergoing colostomy closure for anorectal malformation, Hirschsprung's disease. Traditionally, antibiotics are given for unnecessarily longer period of time, which consumes scarce health resources having alternate efficient use. The present study was undertaken to compare the outcome between short-term and long-term antibiotic prophylaxis in colostomy closure. Materials & Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted in Dhaka Shishu Hospital, Dhaka over a period of 15 months from April 2001 to June 2002. Children admitted with anorectal malformation, Hirschsprung's disease for colostomy closures were the study population. However, immuno-compromised children or children already getting antibiotics were excluded from the study. A total of 46 such children were consecutively included and were randomly allocated to long-term group (n = 21) and short-term group (n = 25). The long-term group received antibiotic up to 5th postoperative day, while the short-term group received the same antibiotic up to 2nd postoperative day. Transverse colostomy was the main procedure employed in colostomy closure; however, a few patients required sigmoid colostomy. The outcome measures were incidence of wound infection, hospital stay and cost of treatment. Result: Majority of the children were between 1 - 5 years of age (75% in short-term and 50% in long-term group) followed by under 1 year (10% in short-term and 40% in long-term group) and > 5 years (15% in short-term and 10% in long-term group). The overall male to female ratio was 3:1. Majority (85%) of the patients in both long­term and short-term groups belonged to lower income group. Over half (52.2%) of the children had anorectal malformations (ARM) and the rest (47.8%) had Hirschsprung's disease (HD). Children were generally malnourished according to Gomez classification. Majority (91%) was operated on by transverse colostomy and few (9%) by sigmoid colostomy. Three patients in each group developed postoperative wound infection. Blood culture of none of these patients yielded growth of any organism, though wound swab culture did so in 5 cases out of 6 infected patients. In 2 cases, the organism was E.coli, in 2 cases, it was Pseudomonas and in one case Staph. aureus. Total cost of antibiotics in short-term therapy was less than 50% of that required in long-term therapy. The outcome in terms of recovery, complications and postoperative hospital stay was no different between groups. Conclusion: The study concluded that short-term antibiotic prophylaxis is as efficacious as long-term in preventing wound infection in patients with colostomy closure for anorectal malformation and Hirschsprung's disease. Short-term antibiotic prophylaxis is cost-effective Ibrahim Cardiac Med J 2014; 4(2): 43-48

Perineal groove is a rare congenital anorectal malformation, with incidence yet undetermined. It is almost exclusive to the female newborn and its embryogenic origin remains uncertain. We present a case-report of a newborn girl that was discharged from the nursery without complications. At her first appointment at primary care we noted a wet sulcus connecting the posterior vaginal commissure and the anus. This case report emphasizes the rarity of the perineal groove and the importance of a good quality history and physical examination at primary care.
