title: Management of anorectal malformation in neonates.
abstract: Anorectal malformations are one of the commonest anomalies in the new born. Major advances have been made in the last decade in operative techniques to reconstruct this abnormality. The final outcome in these babies is dependent on careful planning and operative intervention in the neonatal period. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the varied presentations of this anomaly, initial assessment and operative management with reference to our own experience.
