Appendicostomy in Preschool Children with Anorectal Malformation: Successful Early Bowel Management with a High Frequency of Minor Complications
Figure 1
The children with anorectal malformation (ARM) operated on with posterior sagittal anorectal plasty (PSARP) and posterior sagittal anorectal vaginourethral plasty (PSARVUP) in 1990–2012 and those operated on with appendicostomies in 1998–2012. The appendicostomies among the different subtypes of ARM according to the Krickenbeck classification were unevenly distributed (, Fisher’s exact test).
