Abstract:
In a 44-year old woman a severe case of prolapse of the rectum was complicated by complete incontinence and rectal stenosis. Continence was restored by colo-anal anastomosis between an oral smooth-muscle-plasty and the anal skin introduced in a newly created anal canal by a distal voluntary muscle-plasty. The successfully applied one-stage technique in reestablishing non-voluntary and voluntary muscular continence is described in detail.
