    Author: Eltomey MA, Donnelly LF, Emery KH, Levitt MA, Peña A.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 2008 Nov; 191(5):1469-76. PubMed ID: 18941087.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Patients operated on for anorectal malformations can experience technical complications related to the initial corrective surgery. Many of these complications may necessitate reoperation. Pelvic MRI is part of the evaluation to assess the position of the pulled-through bowel, the sphincter muscles, and the critical area of the posterior urethra. This article reviews the various pelvic MRI findings in these patients. CONCLUSION: Pelvic MRI is a valuable tool in the assessment of postoperative anorectal malformations that may necessitate additional surgery.
