Anorectal Malformation (ARM) Treatment in India
Trusted by Patients From 35+ Countries









What is Anorectal Malformation?
Anorectal Malformation (ARM) is a congenital condition (present at birth) where the anus and rectum do not develop properly. In this condition, the rectum may not connect to the anus, or it may connect to the urinary or reproductive system instead. This leads to difficulty or inability to pass stool normally.
ARM is usually diagnosed in newborns and requires surgical correction for proper bowel function and quality of life.
Why is Anorectal Malformation Surgery Done?
Surgery for anorectal malformation is performed to:
- Create a normal anal opening
- Restore proper bowel function
- Prevent infections and complications
- Improve the child’s quality of life
- Correct abnormal connections (fistulas) between organs
Early surgical intervention is crucial to avoid long-term complications such as constipation, infections, or bowel control issues.
Who is an Eligible Candidate for Anorectal Malformation Surgery in India?
Patients eligible for ARM surgery include:
- Newborns diagnosed with absent or misplaced anus
- Infants with abnormal passage of stool through urinary or genital tract
- Children with difficulty passing stool due to congenital defects
- Patients with associated conditions like fistulas
Eligibility is determined based on the type and severity of the malformation, overall health, and associated anomalies.
Types of Anorectal Malformation Surgery
The surgical approach depends on the complexity of the condition:
1. Posterior Sagittal Anorectoplasty (PSARP)
The most common procedure to reconstruct the anus in the correct position.
2. Colostomy
A temporary procedure where stool is diverted to a bag before definitive repair.
3. Laparoscopic Surgery
Minimally invasive approach for certain complex cases.
4. Pull-through Procedure
The rectum is repositioned and connected to the newly created anus.
