Interstitial Cells of Cajal and Ganglion Cell Distribution in Sigmoid Stomal Limbs and Distal Rectum after Stoma Formation in Male Anorectal Malformation Patients Undergoing Staged Repair
Lesser number of GC and/or ICC in the distal pouch from stage 2 onward may point toward its association with projected hypomotility in ARM patients. Apart from innate distribution, we also infer that this could be consequent to vascular insult which may occur at the time of divided colostomy. Loop stoma may be a better alternative as vascularity is uninterrupted in loop colostomy.
