Key takeaways
- Müllerian anomalies are common in ARM patients; systematic gynecologic evaluation is essential for comprehensive care.
- Cloacal abnormalities often involve complex Müllerian anatomy requiring multidisciplinary surgical planning.
- Longitudinal gynecologic follow-up is critical as reproductive anatomy may not be fully assessable at initial ARM repair.
- Early collaboration between colorectal and gynecology teams improves outcomes for female ARM patients.
- Predicting Müllerian anatomy preoperatively remains challenging; intraoperative findings often differ from imaging.
