Abstract

Patients with TCA amenable to reestablishment of the transanal fecal flow can have adequate growth, normal feeding, reasonably good continence and satisfactory QOL. However, complications and enterocolitis are frequent. A modified Martin's procedure was performed as well as straight ileo-anal pull-through with little influence on the long-term outcome.
