You may already know about Linus’s medical condition. If not, read this<\/a>. <\/p>\n In August, we went to the Colorectal Center of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital<\/a> to visit the world’s leading experts in the field of anorectal malformations. Dr. Marc Levitt<\/a> operated on Linus and repaired the defect. We are so happy that we went to Cincinnati and had the best surgeons in the world taking care of Linus. <\/p>\n To learn more about the actual surgery and repair, click the More link below.

\nTo understand more about Linus’s defect and surgical repair, take a look at this image. On the left, you’ll find a picture of normal male anatomy. On the right, an image of a rectoperineal fistula, the type of defect Linus had. You can see that the rectum exits the body in front of where the anus should be. <\/p>\n
