Manometric squeeze pressure difference parallels functional outcome after overlapping sphincter reconstruction

Abstract: Overlapping sphincter reconstruction improved anal function in the majority of patients. The most important factor in the return to normal sphincter function is an increase in squeeze pressure.

“…The increases in mean maximal squeeze pressure and mean anal sphincter length of our study are similar to those from previous studies [11,12,15,16] . The increased mean maximal squeeze pressure after overlapping sphincter repair is related to the improvement in continence and is the only parameter significant in anal manometry.…”

“…The increased mean maximal squeeze pressure after overlapping sphincter repair is related to the improvement in continence and is the only parameter significant in anal manometry. Moreover, Ha et al [11] reported that there was a trend towards more complete continence in patients with nonobstetric compared with obstetric injury, although this did not show statistical significance.…”

“…Die besten Ergebnisse werden bei jungen Patienten mit traumatischer Sphinkterläsion erreicht [43]. Die Wirkweise der Sphinkterrekonstruktion beruht auf eine Wiederherstellung des anorektalen Druckgradientes [22,46]. Höhere Inkontinenzgrade und Voroperationen sind prognostisch schlechter einzuschätzen [8,70].…”
