Abstract

A clinical case of a girl with a rare form of rectal atresia in combination with a rectovestibular fistula, radically operated on at the age of 7 months is presented.

The elimination of the vestibular fistula was performed with the imposition of an "end-to-end" anastomosis of the atrezed parts of the rectal ampulla by posterior sagittal access.

In the postoperative period, the child had an independent regular satisfactory defecation with a moderate tendency to chronic constipation once every two days, stool retention up to 2-3 days was periodically noted.

The article presents the results of surgical treatment and the protocol of the operation itself in a rare clinical case.
