Saving lives treating ARM

For many years, Dr. Philip Frykman has worked to save babies born with serious birth defects. Dr. Frykman specializes in fixing a rare problem called anorectal malformation (ARM). This happens when a baby's rectum isn’t formed correctly, blocking the area near the pelvis and sphincter. When a baby can’t properly eliminate, they need surgery quickly, and it must be done very carefully. The baby’s life depends on it. “If the infant is not treated within, at the latest, four days, they’ll end up getting septic and die,” says Dr. Frykman.

Dr. Frykman's work to address this serious condition affecting children across the world was documented on TheMighty.com. Read more about Dr. Frykman's effort to address ARM in babies, to reduce fatalities and improve these young patients' quality of life.
