Influence of Parks' anal retractor on anal sphincter pressures.
PURPOSE The effects of the Parks' anal retractor on anal sphincter function were studied in a prospective, randomized trial. A closed hemorrhoidectomy was performed intra-anally in 20 patients using the Parks' anal retractor; in 20 other patients, the procedure was done perineally without the use of a retractor. METHODS Anal manometry was performed before and at 6 and 12 weeks after hemorrhoi...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the prevalence of anal incontinence (AI) in primiparous women five years after their first delivery; to investigate if an 8-12 hour time delay of primary repair affects AI at 1-year follow-up; to study the association between endoanal ultrasonography and anorectal manometry in relation to AI in primiparous women; to evaluate whether an endoanal ultrasonographic derived sphi...
متن کاملObstetric anal sphincter injury
Obstetric trauma following childbirth is the primary cause of faecal incontinence in women. Injury to the anal sphincter complex is common: it has been clinically diagnosed in 0.4–2.5% of vaginal deliveries involving a mediolateral episiotomy and in up to 19% of cases of midline episiotomy. Studies using endoanal ultrasound have reported occult anal sphincter injury in up to 35% of women after ...
متن کاملObstetric anal sphincter injury.
Anal sphincter injury during childbirth is a leading cause of anal incontinence. In a study of more than 20 000 consecutive vaginal deliveries, clinically diagnosed obstetric anal sphincter injury occurred in 2.9% of primiparous women and 0.8% of multiparous ones. Of women who have sustained such an injury, 60-80% are asymptomatic at 12 months, of whom most report incontinence of flatus only, r...
متن کاملDisturbed anal sphincter function following vaginal delivery.
BACKGROUND Recently interest in idiopathic (neurogenic) faecal incontinence has swung from denervation of the external anal sphincter to the internal sphincter. AIMS To evaluate the effects of vaginal delivery on the internal sphincter. SUBJECTS 1372 mothers were studied antenatally and 1202 were accepted into the study. METHODS Sphincter pressures were measured antenatally, in the early ...
