Surgical repair and reconstruction of the anus for improved function.
Anoplasty is reconstructive surgery of the anus, performed to create or repair a functional anal opening. It is commonly part of treatment for anorectal malformations — congenital conditions where the anus and rectum do not develop normally.
Some children undergo a staged repair: an initial colostomy at birth, followed by definitive anoplasty when the child is older and structures have developed. The timing and technique depend on the type of malformation.
Our pediatric surgeons work with families through each stage of care — from neonatal assessment to long-term bowel management. The goal is safe surgery, preserved sphincter function, and the best possible continence outcomes.
