This review article presents the management protocol of new-borns with anorectal malformation in Slovenia. The clinical presentation, diagnostics and surgical management are described. Optimal functional result is possible when the condition is recognised early and managed according to the described protocol. We have searched the literature for guidelines on anorectal malformation treatment, and present some data of a single centre (University Medical Centre Ljubljana, Slovenia) retrospective analysis of anorectal malformation management. Our achievements are the result of a well-coordinated multidisciplinary approach and adherence to the treatment protocol.
