title: [A combined posterior sagittal and transabdominal approach for the treatment of children with high type of anal atresia].
abstract: The authors present 7 cases (4 girls and 3 boys) with a high type of imperforate anus. Combined posterior sagittal and transabdominal approach was applied. In all 7 cases the height of the malformation, determined by x-ray and ultrasonography was more than 30 mm. One stage surgical procedure, without colostomy, was applied in two of the cases. One child was treated by a two stage and the other four by a three stage operation. The operation is described and the postoperative complications and the results are discussed.
