    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Anal manometry quantifies fistula surgery outcomes. Sphincter preservation in fistula surgery is supported by findings showing reduced anal pressure with external sphincter division, impacting continence.

    Area of Science:

    • Colorectal Surgery
    • Gastroenterology
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • Fistula surgery outcomes require objective measurement.
    • Anal manometry can assess functional results post-surgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantitate the functional outcome of anal fistula surgery using anal manometry.
    • To evaluate the impact of different fistula types and surgical techniques on anal pressures.

    Main Methods:

    • A closed, water-filled microballoon system (0.5 x 1.0 cm) was employed.
    • Resting anal pressure and maximal squeeze pressure were measured in 47 patients.
    • Measurements were taken before and after treatment for intersphincteric, transphincteric, and suprasphincteric fistulas.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Intersphincteric fistula treatment led to reduced distal resting pressure.
    • Transphincteric and suprasphincteric fistula treatments reduced anal pressure in the distal 3 cm.
    • Dividing the external sphincter significantly lowered anal pressure compared to muscle preservation.
    • Six patients with low resting pressure experienced continence disturbance.

    Conclusions:

    • Sphincter preservation in fistula surgery is advisable.
    • Anal manometry is a valuable tool for assessing functional outcomes after fistula surgery.
    • Surgical techniques impact anal pressure and potentially continence.
