<b>Long-term obstetric and gynecologic care for patients with anorectal malformations</b><div><br><div>This article from the&nbsp;Journal of Pediatric Surgery&nbsp;provides clinical guidelines for the&nbsp;long-term obstetric and gynecologic care&nbsp;of individuals born with&nbsp;anorectal malformations (ARM). It emphasizes the necessity of&nbsp;specialized monitoring&nbsp;for unique anatomical challenges, such as&nbsp;Müllerian anomalies&nbsp;and the maintenance of&nbsp;neovaginas&nbsp;through dilation or surgery. Healthcare providers are encouraged to use&nbsp;shared decision-making&nbsp;when addressing sensitive topics like&nbsp;contraceptive placement,&nbsp;sexual health, and&nbsp;fertility preservation. The text also highlights the critical need for a&nbsp;structured transition&nbsp;from pediatric to adult medicine, utilizing&nbsp;patient-centered health summaries&nbsp;to ensure continuity of care. Finally, it outlines&nbsp;pregnancy considerations, noting that complex surgical histories often require&nbsp;multidisciplinary collaboration&nbsp;between obstetricians and surgical specialists to manage delivery risks.</div><div><br></div><div>Read the full article here: <a href="https://www.jpedsurg.org/article/S0022-3468(26)00376-3/abstract">⁠Long-term obstetric and gynecologic care for patients with anorectal malformations - Journal of Pediatric Surgery</a></div><div><br></div></div>
