This is a national, multicenter, retro-prospective longitudinal cohort study evaluating mid- and long-term outcomes of different surgical techniques used for the correction of anorectal malformations (ARM) with perineal or vestibular fistula. Patients undergoing surgical correction between 2020 and 2027 will be included. Functional outcomes, particularly fecal continence assessed using the Krickenbeck score, will be evaluated at 3 and 6 years post-surgery or until continence is achieved.
