Urologic problems associated with imperforate anus.
A total of 120 children with both high, intermediate, and low types of imperforate anus were evaluated urologically. Genitourinary anomalies were associated with all types of imperforate anus but were found more often in children with high rectal deformities. Because the over-all incidence of genitourinary anomalies was high, early and complete urologic evaluation is necessary to achieve the best functional result.
