When is the right time to do a Malone? This is a very personal decision for each family and patient. Ideally, the patient has an enema solution that works for him/her, and it has been determined that enemas will be the treatment for life.

Tethered Cord happens in 25% of patients born with an ARM. Normally, the spinal cord should be floating freely inside the spinal canal, and the conus medularis should end above L2. When it is below L2, and attached to the bone and/or surrounding tissues, we call it tethered cord.

This study demonstrates the real world benefits of multi-disciplinary care for cloacal malformations. Incidence of chronic kidney disease reduced from 50% historically to 2.9%. “It takes a village” @NCHColorectal @NCHUrology @NCHforDocs @NCHKidneyCenter

Protecting renal function in cloacal malformation is paramount! @NCHColorectal @NCHUrology @NCHKidneyCenter @NCHUrology ✅ urology involved early ✅ frequent rus and labs ✅ normal renal fxn can be preserved ✅most with renal dysfxn are born with it, rather than acquired

Are laxatives forever? For patients with Idiopathic Constipation and Anorectal Malformation with good prognosis for bowel control, laxatives are usually for life. It is important to understand that laxatives don’t cure the constipation, but they make it manageable.

Rectal prolapse in Anorectal Malformation: - more common in patients with poor prognosis for bowel control - surgery should only be offered when interfering with the quality of life (excessive mucous production, bleeding, or discomfort) #SoMe4PedSurg

The Importance of Asking a Question – 56 years ago, there was no "match" in #pedsurg, there were no emails nor the internet. Communication happened through regular mail. Dr. Pena sent a letter to Dr. Gross to ask about the opportunity to train under him at Boston Children's.

Medical records are not kept forever in the hospital. In the USA, it varies by State but, generally speaking, records are kept between 10 - 25 y since the patient was last seen. What does that mean? If a patient is now 40 yo, we don’t have access to op notes of reconstruction.

It is very important that kids with fecal incontinence due to anotectal malformation, Hirschsprung or Spina bifida, understand that it is not their fault that they can’t control bowel movements. #pedsurg #pedscolorectal

For patients who suffer from fecal incontinence the options to stay clean for stool in the underwear are: colostomy, rectal enemas or antegrade enemas. Those are quality of life discussions and the patient should be the one deciding what is the best option for him or her.
