Produktbeschreibung

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

Anorectal Malformations in Children represents an international consensus in understanding and treating anorectal malformations. Interesting new topics include tethered cord, vaginal reconstruction, continent catherizable channels, and the impact on family studies by parents' organizations. The book not only carries on from the three previous editions by Douglas Stephens and Durham Smith (1963, 1971, and 1988) but assembles many new aspects in the broad field of anorectal and genitourinary malformations. Special attention is given to the new surgical techniques posterior sagittal anorectal plasty (PSARP), urogenital sinue advancement, and laparoscopy. The results of an international workshop of 26 international authorities on congenital malformations of the organs of the pelvis and perineum are presented. The new classification proposed at the Krickenberg Conference will enable future studies comparing the types and the results of treatment of anorectal malformations. The book is an invaluable reference for all medical authorities with a special interest in anorectal and genitourinary malformations
