Objective:To evaluate the effect of laparoscopic-assisted anorectoplasty in the treatment of children′s congenital anal atresia.Methods:In this study , 49 children undergoing laparoscopic-assisted anorectoplasty between Mar 2009 and Mar 2015 were compared in terms of outcomes with 42 children under going posterior sagittal anorectoplasty during this period.The post-operative complications, bowel functions and courses were evaluated.Results:The ratio of primary healing in laparoscopic-assisted anorectoplasty was higher than posterior sagittal anorectoplasty(22 % vs. 10%, χ 2=4.306, P=0.038), the age of sequential operation in the former was lower than control group [(9.9±6.5) d vs. (13.4±5.1) d, t=2.823, P=0.003]. The perioperative complications were lower than that in the control group(20% vs. 50%, χ 2=8.817, P=0.003), the bowel function was better than control group(χ 2=7.419, P=0.025). Conclusions:Perioperative complications in laparoscopic-assisted anorectoplasty is lower than posterior sagittal anorectoplasty, with better bowel function and higher primary healing rate.
