Abstract:
A young woman had been treated previously with a gracilis muscle transposition because of anal atresia thus enabling her to maintain continence by active muscle contraction, which, however, she could sustain for only a few minutes. Implantation of a neuromuscular stimulator resulted in perfectly controllable sphincter function.
