The subject of this book is to improve the treatment of children with anorectal malformations. Since the last edition was published in 1988, the treatment of this frequent disease has changed very much. A new surgical treatment was introduced by Alberto Pena and edited in Atlas of Surgical Management of Anorectal Malformations by Springer in 1965. Many genetic and embryological studies have been performed, which improve our recent knowledge about the etiology and pathogenesis of this malformation. The diagnostic techniques too changed very much. A number of syndroms combined with anorectal atresia were detected. In the present book for the first time rules concerning the postoperative follow up and management will be discussed.
