Major advances in the management of anorectal malformations have been achieved during the last 20 years. Alberto Pena introduced the posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) in 1982. He divided all the sphincteric muscles at the exact posterior midline and fully exposed the crucial anatomy. He was able to manage the associated fistula under direct vision with minimal urinary tract injury. The rectum could be placed in the middle of the sphincteric muscle complex. Even with PSARP by Alberto Pena himself, only 37.5% of all cases were considered totally continent. Anorectal malformation is still acontinuing challenge for the pediatric surgeons.

Testicular regression syndrome is representative of a clinical range of 46,XY agonadal persons, in which the testes of the victim's are irreparably damaged at a critical stage in fetal development. The critical stage of testicular regression syndrome is represented by a range of abnormalities of genital development. Recently, we experienced a case of early fetal testicular regression syndrome with no definite gonad and a cloacal anomaly associated with imperforate anus, so we present it with brief review of literature.

Congenital accessory limbs are very rare anomalies with many causative factors. We describe the case of a 1-day-old female neonate-born to a healthy, 27-year-old mother-who presented with an accessory limb (foot) attached to the buttock and an imperforate anus. We also provide a review of the relevant literature.

This is the report of the use of a gracilis transplant in the correction of a refractory urethro-rectal fistula associated with congenital imperforate anus in a 26 year old male. Three days after birth anoplasty had been performed. Thereafter three further procedures (Swenson type pull-through, direct perineal repair and repeat pull-through with omental interposition) all failed. Success was finally obtained by use of a gracilis transplant introduced via a perineal incision in order to place viable healthy muscle between the urethral closure (performed through perineal incision) and the rectal mucosal closure (performed via posterior prostotomy). Good continence was achieved.

The VATER syndrome is defined as a nonrandom association of congenital anomalies including three or more of vertebral(V), anal(A), tracheoesophageal(TE) and radial or renal(R) deficiencies. We experienced one case of VATER syndrome in a 20 month-old male having lumbarization of sacrum, congenital imperforate anus (Ladd and Gross`s type 3) with urethrorectal fistula and left megaureter with right renal agenesis and urethrocutaneous fistula

The association of congenital colonic atresia with imperforate anus is extremely rare. The authors were able to find only three case on our investigation of the English literature. We have recently managed a female infant with imperforate anus associated with atresia of the transverse colon.

The high incidence of genitourinary anomalies associated in patients with imperforate anus and rectum has long been recognized. The death of children suffering imperforate anus several years after satisfactory management of the alimentary lesion is often due fundamentally to oversight or poor management of a urologic lesion. We have recently two cases of imperforate anus associated with urogenital anomalies, urethrorectal and rectovaginal fistula.
