An ingenious operation, devised by Rizzoli,for the relief of this malformation is performed as follows: An incision is car-ried from the lower margin of the vaginal anus backward through the perineumtoward the coccyx, care being taken not to open the intestine; the terminationof the rectum with its vaginal orifice is now carefully dissected out, and theabnormal anus is transplanted to its natural situation and secured in that posi-tion by a few sutures, after which the perineal and vaginal wounds are broughttogether by deep sutures.
