Doctors at NH SRCC Children's Hospital perform surgery on 10-year-old girl born with joint urethra, vagina and rectum

The surgeons had to be very careful so that the arteries are not damaged while performing several reconstructive procedures.

Shah said Arushi underwent surgery to create an anal opening about 6 months back, which "separated her rectum from the common cavity".

To treat her problem of urine incontinence, the doctors created an Indiana Pouch - where instead of a urinary bag, the right colon is removed from the rest of the bowel and re-fashioned into a pouch that can hold 600 ml of fluid.

The pouch when full can be emptied by the patient herself by inserting a catheter, the doctor said. The doctors also created a newly constructed rectum.

"Finally, her colostomy was closed and she started passing stool from the newly constructed rectum. The unique cases had multiple surgeries," Shah said.

The doctors noted that Arushi was discharged from the hospital in normal health condition.

"Doctors here not only performed complicated surgeries but also took good care of us. All the time, they convinced us that problems are plenty but they would overcome each one by one. We are very grateful to the hospital, doctors, and other staff. We will never forget their contribution to making our life happier," said Arushi and her parents.
