Question
What are the appropriate treatment methods for a child with congenital anal rectal stenosis?
Answer
The treatment methods for congenital anal rectal stenosis vary depending on the severity and type of the stenosis. For mild cases, repeated and persistent anal dilation can be used to restore normal defecation function. For severe cases, surgical treatment is required before the recurrence of intestinal obstruction. For simple anal membrane stenosis, a septum resection can be performed; for anal canal stenosis, options include longitudinal incision and transverse suture or anal Y-V flapplasty to enlarge the anal canal orifice; for stenosis at the anal canal junction, due to its ring-shaped nature, a stenosis release procedure is used for treatment.
