Introduction: the aim of current is to compare clinical outcomes between the divided end loop and separate double barrel colostomy in neonates with imperforate anus. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study to review 184 patients who presented with imperforate anus and were managed with a divided end loop or separate double barrel colostomy between 2017 and 2020. Complications were compared in the two groups. Results: There was more skin excoriation in separate double barrel colostomy compared to divided end loop colostomy (p=0.001). The mean of scar size in patients of divided end loop colostomy group was lower than that of separate double barrel colostomy significantly (p<0.0001). Conclusion: Our results suggest that divided end loop colostomy may be more acceptable than separate double barrel colostomy for neonates with imperforate anus.
