Question

Mark has been diagnosed with imperforate anus and has anorectal agenesis with a rectoprostatic urethral fistula. The continence nurse is explaining this diagnosis to Mark's parents. She discusses that this is classified as a high lesion and Mark will require a temporary diverting colostomy now, with pull-through surgery at about 6 months of age. When discussing long-term results for Mark, the continence nurse states:

"Mark may achieve continence by school age, with likely social continence by adolescence." "Mark will have normal continence once he has had the pull-through surgery." "Mark will have the colostomy until he demonstrates readiness for bowel control." "Mark won't have any problems with constipation or incontinence after the pull-through surgery."
