Anorectal malformation is a rare congenital malformation characterized by the absence of an anus at birth. Therefore, anorectal malformation is usually diagnosed shortly after birth, when a doctor examines the child's health. The exact cause of this anal malformation is still unknown.

Laparoscopic rectal balloon reduction and anorectal reconstruction is a technique that can be indicated for all cases of anorectal malformations in children, except for anocutaneous fistula or vestibular fistula.

Anorectal malformations have been recognized since ancient times under the common name of anal absence. With advances in medicine today, children born with this malformation have been actively intervened from the first months of life. However, depending on the characteristics of the malformation, anal reconstruction will be carried out in different ways. Of which, flap anal reconstruction surgery is the most common and most commonly performed method."
