Anorectal Malformation with Colonic Duplication and Dual Rectovaginal Fistulae
Journal Title: International Journal of Surgery and Research (IJSR) - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Anorectal malformations associated with colonic duplications are rare. We report a case of imperforate anus, tubular colorectal duplication, and dual rectovaginal fistulae. This case illustrates the diagnostic challenge and variable presentation of colonic duplications and the use of laparoscopy in the surgical management. A review of the etiology, presentation, and surgical therapy is presented.
