[Semiotics of the Currarino syndrome].

The main criteria for diagnosis of the Currarino syndrome have been defined. Roentgenologic investigation of the lumbar-sacral spine in direct projection is indicated to all the patients with anorectal developmental defects, in particular with congenital anorectal stenosis. In detection of a specific defect of the terminal vertebrae, the performance of computed tomography of the pelvic bottom and nuclear magnetic resonance tomography of the lumbar-sacral spine is necessary. This permits to assess the nature of a presacral tumour and degree of dysplasia of the external and sphincter. Timely diagnosis of the Currarino syndrome in children with the anorectal developmental defects permits to avoid severe septic and functional complications in surgical intervention.

[Comprehensive evaluation of long-term results of surgical treatment and principles of postoperative rehabilitation of children with anorectal atresia].

The examination and treatment of 22 children at the age of from 2 to 14 years after surgical correction of fistulous forms of atresia of the anus and rectum was carried out. In all the patients, besides of general clinical investigations, the special studies of the large intestine with the use of roentgenologic and functional methods were performed. A scale-table for assessment of a degree of anal incompetence have been developed, criteria for choice of rational tactics for rehabilitation of the patients established.

[Computerized tomography of the organs of the small pelvis in children with anorectal atresia].

In 12 children with the different forms of anorectal atresia, for studying the state of a sphincter apparatus of the rectum and assessment of quality of its bringing down into the perineum after proctoplasty, computerized tomography of the organs of a small pelvis was used. Underdeveloped and undifferentiated musculus levator ani in children with high anorectal atresia and fistula to the urinary bladder was revealed. The method permits to establish exact location of the intestine brought down relative to musculus levator ani and external anal sphincter.

[Primary and repeated surgical interventions in children with anorectal atresia and urinary tract fistula].

Experience with the treatment of 70 children with anorectal atresia with a fistula into the urinary tracts is summarized. Comparative analysis of the effectiveness of the different methods of peritoneo-perineal proctoplasty was carried out. The methods for formation of the artificial smooth muscle sphincter of the intestine brought down and anoplasty are suggested. Introduction of these methods permitted to decrease the incidence of postoperative complications and improve a functional result of the operations. The methods for performance of a repeated operation after failed primary correction of a defect are presented. The importance of postoperative rehabilitation of the patients is noted.

[Clinico-morphologic basis for choosing the surgical method in the treatment of exstrophy of the bladder].

A method for creation of an artificial bladder from the rectum, which was used in 22 children with exstrophy of the bladder with good anatomic and functional results is suggested. In clinical and histologic studies, the inferiority of the exstrophied bladder tissues and unexpediency of their use for plasty have been proved. A long-term result of treatment in 31 of the 35 patients operated on with the use of different methods was studied by the data of complex evaluation of the functions of an artificial bladder, upper urinary tracts and rectal sphincter apparatus.

[Diagnosis and treatment of anal achalasia in functional megacolon in children].

In electromanometric investigation of the rectoanal region, in 103 of 108 patients with established diagnosis of functional megacolon, anal achalasia--rectoanal dyssynergy was diagnosed. In 12 patients, achalasia of the internal anal sphincter was revealed. Because of ineffectiveness of the conservative treatment, which included digital dilation of the external anal sphincter and rectoanal training with bioadaptive regulation, in 10 of 12 patients, myectomy of the internal anal sphincter was performed with a good result.

[Duplication of the stomach and intestine in children].

The authors observed 25 children at the age of from 2 mos to 14 years with the different forms of gastric and intestinal duplication. Cystic forms of duplication (16 cases) were manifested mainly by the symptoms of obstruction of the alimentary canal, diverticular duplication (3) was complicated by profuse bleeding, tubular duplication (6) was more often revealed in the rectum (4). Correct diagnosis before the operation was established in 5 patients. Choice of a method for operation is individual. The results of treatment are favourable.

[Creation of an artificial smooth muscle rectal sphincter in children].

A method for creation of the artificial smooth muscle anal sphincter, which was used in 18 children with high forms of anorectal atresia and in 9 children with associated incompetence of the external and internal anal sphincters developed after repeated operations, severe traumas of the perineum and rectum and suppurative processes, has been developed. The effectiveness of the developed method is shown on the basis of clinical, functional and experimental morphologic methods of investigation.
