Abstract

After clinical and neurophysiological examinations of 22 patients with developmental anomalies of the rectum and anus, who suffered of fecal incontinence of type III and who were operated in the Vladimirsky Moscow Region Clinical Institute, a modern approach to the diagnostics of neuromuscular disorders has been proposed. A particular attention was paid to the sacral plexus and its branches. A detailed examination of the sexual nerve and its functions was made using a St. Mark disposable rectal electrode. The optimal evaluation of motor potentials from the thigh muscles under transrectal stimulation of the sacral plexus was made; findings of EMG diagnostics were compared too. The researchers backgrounded an optimal modality for treating this pathology: not only surgical tactics, but also patient’s reserve capabilities in restoring lost functions using EMG biological feedback.
