[Our experience in the treatment of imperforate anus. Anterior (Mollard's technic) versus posterior approach (Stephens' technic)].
The present series concerns the method of treatment for anus imperforatus as it was performed at the Academic Hospital Ghent (Belgium) between 1971 and 1980. Two different technics are confronted one with the other: the anterior perineal approach according to Mollard and the posterior transsacral approach according to Stephens. In agreement with the recent literature the anterior way of acceding to the puborectalissling has undeniable advantage. Even with a very short follow-up period the number of children with supralevatoric localization of anus imperforatus treated by the technic of Mollard and showing a proven continence is now already outnumber.
