Abstract: | A randomized controlled trial in women with neuropathic faecal incontinence compared total pelvic floor repair (n = 12) with anterior levatorplasty and sphincter plication alone (n = 12) and postanal repair alone (n = 12). Review at 6 and 24 months indicated that results were significantly better for total pelvic floor repair than either of the other procedures. Comlete continence was achieved in eight of the 12 patients 2 years after total pelvic floor repair. Only total repair significantly elongated the anal canal. Both total pelvic floor repair and anterior levatorplasty improved sensation in the upper anal canal. |
