Anorectal prolapse after anorectal reconstruction: Incidence and risk factors according to the ARM-Net Consortium.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

There is a knowledge gap regarding which patients with anorectal malformations (ARMs) are at highest risk of anorectal prolapse (AP), and which risk factors predispose to AP in ARM. The aims of the study were to define the frequency of AP after ARM reconstruction, and explore risk factors.

Method

Data from the ARM-Net registry inserted between 2007 and 2023 were used. Inclusion criteria were the reconstruction performed, no stoma at 1-year follow-up and all data available at 1-year follow-up. The statistics used were univariable and multivariable logistic regression models.

Results

After exclusions the incidence of AP was 163 in 1117 patients (14.6%) in data inserted by 31 centres from 12 countries. The AP incidence was unevenly distributed between the centres (in
