| Abstract | Background: The necessity of searching for ganglia in the terminal rectum/fistula of complex anorectal malformations (ARMs) still remains controversial. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between ganglia absence in the terminal rectum/fistula and defecation function after anoplasty. Methods: Retrospective review of patients who received anoplasty for treating male imperforate anus with rectobulbar (RB)/rectoprostatic (RP) fistulas at a tertiary pediatric hospital was conducted with registered of demographic data, imaging study results, information of the terminal rectum/fistula specimen (excision extension and pathological findings). According to the pathological findings, patients were divided into Group 1 (ganglia absence) and 2 (ganglia presence). Furthermore, postoperative defecation function was evaluated using various rating scale questionnaires. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 22.0. Results: Of the 62 patients, 18 cases (29.0%) showed ganglia absence in the terminal rectum/fistula. By analyzing the imaging data, spinal anomalies and spinal cord anomalies were found in 30.6% (19/62), 56.5% (35/62), respectively. Baseline information was comparable between Group 1 and 2 (P > 0.05). For defecation function, no significant differences in Kelly scores between the two groups (4.0 ± 0.8 vs. 4.4 ± 1.1, P=0.177), while Krickenbeck (3.7 ± 1.8 vs. 5.2 ± 1.4) and Rintala’s (13.7 ± 3.6 vs. 16.0±2.7) scores in Group 1 were significantly lower than that in Group 2 (both P < 0.05). The overall incidence of constipation was 50% (31/62), with Group 1 being higher than Group 2 (77.5% vs. 38.6%, P = 0.002). The area under the curve of ganglia absence for predicting constipation was 0.696, with 77.8% sensitivity and 61.4% specificity. Conclusion: Ganglia absence in the terminal rectum/fistula of male imperforate anus with RB/RP fistulas is associated with constipation after anoplasty, but it has limited predictive value for postoperative constipation. It is necessary to searching for ganglia in the terminal rectum/fistula, both intraoperatively and postoperatively. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
