Rectal Atresia or Web: A Rare Cause of Neonatal Obstruction – Case Report and Literature Review

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Rectal atresia (RA) and stenosis are rare anorectal malformations presenting with distal obstruction despite a normally positioned anus. We report a neonate with type II RA managed by posterior sagittal web excision using the Heineke-Mikulicz technique. Anal canal preservation yielded favorable short-term outcomes, supporting this reproducible surgical approach.
