Anorectal Malformation treatment in Aguascalientes

Anorectal malformation is a group of congenital abnormalities in which the anus and rectum do not develop in the usual way during gestation, affecting the shape or functioning of the final segment of the digestive tract.

How it shows up: it is usually detected in the newborn, when an absence or abnormal location of the anal opening is observed, or when there is difficulty passing stool in the first days of life.

Associated aspects: in some cases it may be accompanied by other developmental variations, which is why a comprehensive evaluation is important.

Which specialist treats it? the pediatric surgeon leads its evaluation, together with the pediatrician and, depending on the case, the gastroenterologist. Faced with any finding of this kind in a baby, the most sensible course is to seek a professional evaluation soon to define the follow-up plan.
