[Plastic surgery for sphincter continence (author's transl)]

E Schmidt

    Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift (1946)
    |January 2, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Free intestinal smooth muscle grafts successfully restored sphincter function in 82.5% of patients, avoiding the need for colostomy bags. This surgical technique offers a viable solution for fecal incontinence.

    Area of Science:

    • Colorectal Surgery
    • Gastrointestinal Surgery
    • Plastic Surgery

    Context:

    • Sphincter dysfunction significantly impacts quality of life.
    • Conventional treatments for fecal incontinence have limitations.
    • Autologous tissue transplantation offers a reconstructive option.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of free transplanted intestinal smooth muscle for sphincter reconstruction.
    • To determine the continence rate and complication profile of this surgical technique.

    Summary:

    • This study involved 137 patients undergoing sphincter plastic surgery using free transplanted intestinal smooth muscle.
    • Successful closure and continence were achieved in 113 patients (82.5%), eliminating the need for colostomy bags.
    • Minor parastomal infections occurred in 15 patients but did not compromise continence.

    Impact:

    • Demonstrates a high success rate for intestinal smooth muscle grafts in sphincter repair.
    • Offers a promising alternative to colostomy for patients with fecal incontinence.
    • Highlights the potential of regenerative approaches in reconstructive surgery.
