Abstract

The utilization of percutaneous injection of water-soluble iodide contrast media in evaluation of the position of the atretic rectal pouch in cases of imperforate anus is presented. This method demonstrates the exact site of atresia and often the origin of rectal fistulae. This method presents a more exact demonstration of an anatomic defect preparatory to surgery.
