Annual Renal Surveillance With Ultrasound in All Anorectal Malformations May Not Be Necessary

Abstract

Children with anorectal malformations (ARMs) are at risk of renal anomalies. Therefore, we obtain annual renal ultrasounds (RUS) regardless of symptoms or complexity. The utility of aggressive screening in all ARM is unknown. Thus, we aimed to determine outcomes in children with all ARM managed on this protocol.
