Abstract

Problems with loss of correct orientation of the pull-through rectal pouch during posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) for high imperforate anus can occur during laparotomy after perineal closure is complete. A simple modification of the de Vries-Peña technique is described that facilitates preservation of orientation and precise anatomical neomuscle construction. A slotted rubber tube preserves correct anatomical orientation of the neorectal pouch and allows accurate construction of the muscle complex around the tube.
