Today is a very special day as @ONEin5000 Foundation is proud to celebrate today, 20th March, as the inaugural “International Anorectal Malformations Day (ARM). This important milestone has been made possible through the collaboration of worldwide IA/ARM patient organisations🧡💙

@RalphyHeraldSun David Dench - Captain at 21; Wayne Carey - Captain at 21; Harry Sheezel at 21 is most definitely in the same category as these players to be considered for captaincy 🤍💙

From Saturday’s paper. Sheezel is the heir apparent to Simpkin as Roos skipper. But Larkey is ready if NM decides he is too young. He would be younger than Carey in 93. Pagan, footy’s youngest captain Jack Trengove have their say

#OTD, 45 years ago, Dr. Alberto Peña created the Posterior Sagittal Approach to repair Anorectal Malformations. We thank him for his creativity, sincere interest in improving the life of patients, as well as his continuous dedication to teaching other surgeons.

Anorectal Malformations are frequently referred to as an Imperforate Anus. In reality, a true imperforate anus (blind ending rectum) is a rare anomaly that only happens in 5% of cases. youtu.be/iLwIVYDwGCY

For those diehard #shinboners, here is a story on our beloved @NMFCOfficial #joininthechorus #kangas theme song 🦘🤍💙

Are you an adult colorectal surgeon treating a patient with Anorectal Malformation and rectal prolapse? This article is for you. ✅ Patients with ARM do not have an anal canal. Perineal approaches, which are the best option in this population, need some modification. 🧵

@waynecarey27 100% Duck, they have no idea 🦘🤍💙

Just for what it’s worth I’ve gone to at least 10 big functions over the last 25 years 😊 What another example of putrid journalism.. No wonder some people can’t move on … YES 25 yrs

🚨 New EU Guidelines for Anorectal Malformation (ARM)! ✅ Prenatal detection via US/MRI ✅ Newborn screening for spinal/urological anomalies ✅ Structured long-term follow-up 📌 Standardized diagnostics = earlier, better care! thieme-connect.com/products/ejour…

Labor has cut funding for the Paediatric Colorectal and Pelvic Reconstruction Centre which was treating children born with debilitating conditions. Put simply, this is a heartless decision. Read my OpEd which appeared in today’s @theheraldsun here👇 michaelmccormack.com.au/media-releases…
