Long-term Outcomes of Heineke-Mikulicz Anoplasty for Treatment of Skin-level Strictures

In brief

This study evaluates long-term outcomes of Heineke-Mikulicz anoplasty for managing skin-level anal strictures that develop after PSARP and PSARVUP procedures. The research focuses on surgical technique effectiveness for treating postoperative complications in pediatric anorectal reconstruction.

• Heineke-Mikulicz anoplasty (HMA) is a surgical technique specifically designed to treat skin-level strictures after PSARP/PSARVUP procedures.
• HMA addresses postoperative anal strictures that occur as complications following posterior sagittal reconstructive surgeries.
• The study evaluates long-term efficacy of HMA, providing outcome data for managing this specific postoperative complication.
• Skin-level strictures represent a distinct anatomical problem requiring targeted surgical intervention beyond standard dilation.
