Imperforate Anus - 3 Nursing Diagnosis and Treatment

Imperforate anus of anorectal malformations (ARMs) is congenital defect in which the opening to the anus is missing or blocked. The cause of anorectal malformations is unknown, the genetic basis of these anomalies is very complex because of their anatomical variability, in an 8% of patients genetic factors are clearly associated with ARMs.

Imperforate anus occurs in about one of every 5,000 newborns. It is somewhat more common in boys than girls. If the anus is missing, there is no outlet to release stool after birth. The intestine ends in a blind pouch, so your infant's stool, called meconium, remains in the intestine.

Treatmentof Imperforate Anus

Imperforate anus usually requires immediate surgery to open a passage for feces unless a fistula can be relied on until corrective surgery takes place. Depending on the severity of the imperforate, it is treated either with a perineal anoplasty or with a colostomy.

The infant is allowed to develop for several months before more intricate repairs are attempted. Surgery for a low-type imperforate anus includes closing any little tube-like openings (fistulas), creating an anal opening, and putting the rectal pouch into the anal opening.

This can cause vomiting and an enlarged or swollen abdomen. In some cases, the rectum may end high in the pelvis or it can end low, closer to the correct position.

    I would like to thank Ultimate Life Clinic for reversing my father's Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). My father’s ALS condition was fast deteriorating before he started on the ALS Herbal medicine treatment from Ultimate Life Clinic. He was on the treatment for just 6 months and we never thought my father will recover so soon. He has gained some weight in the past months and he is able to walk with no support.
