What is Understanding Atresia Ani in Infants about?
Atresia ani is a congenital abnormality where the anus is blocked or missing due to failed development of the rectum and anus during gestation. It is classified as high, intermediate, or low based on the location of the blockage. Treatment involves surgery such as colostomy or posterior sagittal anoplasty to reconstruct the anus and anal sphincter depending on the type and location of the atresia.
