We made a retrospective study of 83 patients operated on for anorectal malformations( 46 males and 37 females) in "William Soler" University Pediatric Hospital from January 1984 to December 1997. This research work analyzed fecal continence using Kelly´s evaluation method after the posterior sagital anorectoplasty. Fecal continence per anatomical variety of malformation and sex, follow up time and association with sacro bone alterations were shown. The best results were achieved in low defects, longer period of recovery and in those children with normal sacro bone.

Keywords : ANUS [abnormalities]; RECTUM [abnormalities]; FECAL INCONTINENCE; DIGESTIVE SYSTEM ABNORMALITIES [surgery].
