Abstract:
One of the efficient possibilities for regaining the anal continence consists of using the pediculated gracilis muscular flap. The electrostimulation of the anal neosphincter and the functional rehabilitation are of major importance in obtaining a good result. The present paper is based on 5 cases in which this method was applied.
