| Abstract: | An analysis of the postoperative complications of a case of ano-rectal agenesis is here presented. The multiplicity of factors involved, with special emphasis on protein-calorie malnutrition, together with the importance of team-work in the management of this case, is emphasised. The postoperative care of a seriously ill child who has undergone major surgery and may be suffering from multiple complications, necessitates close liaison between the surgeon, the pediatrician and the laboratory and nursing staff. It is clear from the comments about this case that the utmost attention to detail is crucial in the management of such cases |
