Rectal atresia is a rare subtype of anorectal malformations in which the patients are born with a normal anal canal but have complete atresia located few centimeters proximal to the dentate line. We present one case using endoscopic-assisted the transanal recto-anal anastomosis as a new surgical technique for the management of rectal atresia. A male born with rectal atresia was diagnosed during physical examination and confirmed with X-ray. The anatomic appearance of the external anus, and perineum were normal. An X-ray of the abdomen showed a blind ending dilated intestine, 2.76 cm from rectum. A colostomy was performed. At the age of 6 months, a operation was carried out by using endoscopic assisted transanal recto-anal anastomosis surgical technique. Two weeks later, the colostomy was closed. The rectal anastomosis was treated with rectal dilatation daily in order to avoid stricture. In conclusion, the endoscopic assisted and transanal approach is an alternative to other surgical techniques in the management of rectal atresia. |
