Abstract:
Artificial classification of anorectal malformation (ARM) is difficult because it is a spectrum of embryologic maldevelopment. However, the establishment of an ideal classification of ARM should be established in order to choose the adequate treatment and evaluate the prognosis. The classification system of ARM has followed the development of medicine, and the pediatric surgeons, who manage the ARM, should understand the change of this classification system.
