Can Anorectal Stenosis be Managed with Dilations Alone? A PCPLC Review
Congenital anorectal stenosis is managed by dilations or operative repair.

We aim to characterize the management and outcomes of these patients via a multi-institutional review using the Pediatric Colorectal and Pelvic Learning Consortium (PCPLC) registry.
