ABSTRACT
This study is a historical account of the ano-rectal malformations
from the time it was considered as a structural defect susceptible
of surgical correction, but in particular from the first formal attempts
to carry it out. We were able to construct a chronologically ordered
description taking into consideration the initial faltering attempts
during the first third of the last century, the progress through a stage
of assessment, so that by the end of the second third of the XXth
century the most relevant discoveries were made, particularly in
regard to the diagnosis and the definition of surgical management
strategies. Finally, we point out the vicissitudes and the clinical
investigations of Peña, the transcendental impact of his concepts
on a skeptical and hostile surgical guild, his labor emigration to the
U.S. hospitals and his growing reputation which accounts for his
outstanding position.
