How is congenital anal atresia treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, diagnosed with anorectal atresia at birth, had surgery at Zhengzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital

Doctor's answer:

Congenital anal atresia requires surgical treatment, which is usually performed in two stages. In the first stage, an artificial anus is created, and the child is able to pass stools through the fistula. In the second stage, the fistula is then surgically closed once the artificial anus has healed.
Children have weaker immune systems, making them more susceptible to urinary tract infections. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take their child to a professional hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
