'Rotation cut technique' for avoiding damage to the external sphincter.

V Lent

    European Urology
    |January 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Preventing external sphincter muscle damage during surgery is crucial. Using rotating cuts in the apical region can reduce the risk of permanent incontinence, as seen in a study of 721 patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Colorectal surgery
    • Anorectal physiology

    Background:

    • Resectional lesions of the external sphincter muscle can lead to incontinence.
    • Inadequate identification and technical misadventure are primary causes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a technique to minimize iatrogenic injury to the external sphincter muscle.
    • To assess the efficacy of rotating cuts in preventing permanent gravity incontinence.

    Main Methods:

    • A personal series of 721 patients undergoing external sphincter muscle procedures.
    • Application of rotating cuts in the apical region during resection.

    Main Results:

    • No cases of permanent gravity incontinence were observed in the series.
    • The technique appears to effectively prevent sphincter damage.

    Conclusions:

    • Rotating cuts in the apical region are a promising method to reduce external sphincter muscle injury.
    • This technique can significantly diminish the risk of permanent incontinence after sphincter surgery.
