The relation of sensation in the anal canal to the functional anal sphincter: a possible factor in anal continence.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In normal subjects the length of the functional anal sphincter has been compared with the extent of sensation to light touch in the anal canal. At rest, the sphincteric zone was the longer. On distension of the rectum, a decrease in pressure in the anal canal so shortened the functional sphincter that intrarectal pressure extended down to contact the sensory zone. This mechanism may allow the sensation in the anal canal to play a part in the fine adjustment of anal continence.

Role of anorectal sensation in preserving continence.
The role of anal sensation in preserving continence was studied in nine healthy volunteers. Objective assessment of sphincter function by manometry and rectal saline infusion was carried out during topical anaesthesia of the anal canal using 5% lignocaine gel and during lubrication with the same amount of inert gel. Anaesthesia successfully abolished anal sensation and reduced both the amplitud...

Sphincterotomy, which is successful in 85% to 95% of patients, permanently weakens the sphincter and therefore might be associated with anal deformity, infections and incontinence. The object of the present study was to compare the therapeutic effects of 25U and 50U doses of botulinum toxin in chronic ...
