Abstract
We present a rare case of female newborn that presented with atypical genitalia, vaginal
atresia and a short segment rectal stenosis which was successfully managed in a minimally
invasive fashion using urological endoscopic and balloon dilatation technology. We
believe that this technique is safe and feasible for short rectal stenotic segments
and might prevent the need for major reconstruction surgery.
