Objective. To conduct a retrospective analysis of surgical treatment and long-term outcomes of treatment of children with cloaca, admitted to clinics of Sechenov University in the period from 2015 to 2019 years.
Methods. Surgical treatment and long-term results were analyzed in 16 patients with cloaca. The age of the children at the time addressing to the clinic varied from the first day of life to 17 years. Long-term results were analyzed in children aged 2.5 to 17 years. In the late postoperative period, patients’ complaints, local status, functional state of the sphincter apparatus, and urination were analyzed.
Results. Patients with cloaca were admitted to clinics of Sechenov University from 10 regions of the Russian Federation. Three children were hospitalized in the first day of life, 13 patients were admitted at various stages of treatment. In 14 children, a stoma was formed on the first day of life, in two – later than a month. Correction of the defect by means of a posterior-sagittal perineal approach was performed in 13 patients, in 3 patients the abdominal-perineal approaches were applied. Reoperations were required in 10 patients (63%). In the long-term postoperative period, neoanus stenosis was detected in 4 (25%) patients, and neointroitus infestatio – in 3 (19%) patients. Constipation was registered in 7 children (43%), fecal incontinence in 2 (13%). 10 (62%) children had various urinary disorders.
Conclusion. We found that 16 patients with cloaca were treated in 17 clinics at different stages of treatment. At the same time, the majority of patients in the late postoperative period had problems with defecation and urination and required repeated surgical interventions. The results of the analysis indicate that treatment prospects of such patients treatment lies in the organization of interregional centers, with the possibility of concentrating material, technical and human resources, forming the flow of patients and their competent routing.
