A five year experience of anorectal malformation surgical reconstrunctions and functional outcome associated factors in Eastern Africa
In the current study we identified that there is no significant variation in ARM functional outcome between males and females.However some factors such as the type of surgery, patient body weight and the complexity of anorectal malformation were all decisive factors for achieving the optimum Voluntary Bowel Bovement (VBM) following ARM repair surgery.
