Anorectal Malformation

When a baby is growing inside the womb, sometimes the anus and rectum don鈥檛 develop properly. This is called an 鈥渁norectal malformation,鈥 and it causes problems with how a baby has a bowel movement (how they poop). Most babies need surgery to correct this right after they鈥檙e born 鈥 usually before they can go home from the hospital. At 乐播传媒 Children's, our pediatric surgeons are experts at repairing anorectal malformations in even the tiniest newborns.

For example, a bowel management program can be helpful for children, especially if they need additional surgeries.
