Anorectal malformation repair; Perineal anoplasty Expectations after surgery: Most anorectal malformations can be corrected successfully with surgery. Normal bowel function can be established in most cases. The long-term expectations are excellent if no other pelvic abnormalities are found. Convalescence: The child may spend several days in the hospital. Dilatation of the new anus (to improve muscle tone and to prevent narrowing) will be performed in the hospital and will be continued for some months. Use of stool softeners and a high-residue diet will need to continue throughout childhood.
