[A method of creating the sphincter apparatus of the rectum]

The data on surgical anatomy of the musculus gracilis, which is used for sphincteroplasty, is presented. In the experiment on 25 dogs with modelled incompetence of the anal sphincter, a technique for cutting the non-free flaps out of the musculus gracilis and creation of obturator apparatus of the rectum has been developed. The advantages of a developed method over the existing ones, efficacy and possibility for its use in the clinic are shown.
