DIAGNOSTICS AND TREATMENT OF THE CLOACA POSTERIOR IN A 3-YEAR-OLD CHILD
DOI:
Abstract
The posterior cloaca (cloaca posterior) is the most rare type of cloacal anomaly representing one of the most complicated problems for the operative correction of the defect. A variety of options for the fusion of structures involved in the formation of urogenital sinus, vaginal and uterine anomalies cause the lack of a unified approach to surgical correction which would allow to obtain good anatomical and functional outcomes and a decent quality of life. The authors discuss a clinical case of successful treatment of a rare form of anorectal malformation - cloaca posterior in a 3-year old child.
