Abstract
BACKGROUND Anorectal Malformations (ARM) are congenital defects where the anus and rectum do not form correctly, presenting a range of complexities that often necessitate intricate surgical interventionist global incidence of ARM is approximately 1 in 2000 to 5000 live births. In developing countries like Tanzania, managing ARMs poses significant challenges due to late presentations, shortage of trained pediatric surgeons and inadequate diagnostic facilities. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and treatment outcomes of ARM at Mnazi Mmoja Hospital (MMH) over five years 2018 to 2022
