ABSTRACT: The aim of this paper is
to present the case of a female patient, 14 years of age, who developed a
megarectum and overflow of fecal incontinence as a consequence of chronic and
severe constipation, after the surgical repair of her vestibular fistula at the
age one. The huge rectum was resected than dissected down to the pelvic floor
and a new anus was reconstructed via a posterior sagittal anorectoplasty with
excellent results.
