Summary

Anorectal malformations, occurring approximately 1 in 5000 live births, mainly involve the distal anus and rectum, but also sometimes the urinary and genital tracts. Defects range from the minor and easily treated with an excellent functional prognosis, to those that are complex and often associated with a poor functional prognosis.

Despite the better knowledge of the anatomy and physiology and the improvement of surgical management after birth, fecal and urinary incontinence can occur, due mainly to deficient nerve supply.

The quality of life of such patients is largely unknown in this country. The aim of the investigators study is to propose specific and generic questionnaires to the patients registered in the national database, correlated to their anatomical and functional status. A better understanding of such correlations should allow improvements in their medical and social management.
