| Summary: | Anorectal malformations (ARMs) simply mean absent or malformed anal opening. Its management consists of proper knowledge of anatomy, identification of defect, and appropriate surgical management and follow-up. Anatomy and defects are different and complex in female ARM. We are discussing six cases of different female ARMs with their rare and complex anatomy analysis and their surgical management. In this series, according to the international ARM classification system (Krickenbeck), we have chosen patients of both “major” and “rare” variety for discussion. This series will give an idea about the definite and complete management of female ARM patients in the light of recent advances in a tertiary care center like IPGMER. |
