Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to identify surgical site infection (SSI) risk factors after anal reconstruction surgery in patients with anorectal malformations (ARMs).
Methods: This retrospective analysis from January 2013 to December 2022, including all pediatric surgical facilities in Hokkaido, Japan, examined consecutive patients with ARMs, excluding cloacal cases, regarding perioperative and SSI factors during their initial anal reconstruction surgeries.
Results: This study involved 157 cases of major clinical groups and 7 cases of rare/regional variants, among whom 4% developed SSIs. SSIs occurrence varied by type and was primarily observed from the neo-anus to the perineal region. Organ/space SSIs occurred in rectourethral fistula (prostatic/bulbar) and perineal (cutaneous) fistula type. Surgical procedures were abdominal sacroperineal rectoplasty, posterior sagittal anorectoplasty, laparoscopic-assisted anorectal pull-through, cutback anoplasty, and Pott's anoplasty, varied based on the ARM type and facility. In perineal (cutaneous) fistula, vestibular fistula, and anal stenosis cases, a significant association was observed between perianal muscle division and SSIs in patients aged > 4 months (p = 0.04). No significant SSI factors were found in other ARM types.
Conclusion: The choice of procedure as an interventional perioperative factor is suggested to be associated with SSIs. These findings may contribute to making informed decisions regarding surgical procedures in such cases.
