| Impact statement: Congenital anorectal malformation (ARM) affects approximately one in every 5000 live births, often requiring a colostomy that complicates the management of acute watery diarrhea (AWD) due to altered anatomy and physiology. This case study of a 2-year-old child reveals that AWD in such patients necessitates a strictly multidisciplinary approach, where pediatricians manage hydration and electrolyte balance while surgeons monitor surgical site healing and long-term bowel function. By identifying that factors such as nutritional deficiency, surgical site infections, and medication side effects can exacerbate diarrhea in stoma patients, the research provides a vital clinical framework for healthcare providers to implement coordinated, evidence-based interventions that protect the recovery and long-term well-being of affected children. | Collaboration: None | Keywords: Congenital anorectal malformation (ARM), colostomy, acute watery diarrhea, multidisciplinary approach, pediatric surgery |
