[Muscle grafts in the reconstructive surgery of rectal sphincter]

Analysis of experimental (146 operations) and clinical (14 patients) material provides the grounds for recommending plastics with muscles on a mobile neurovascular pedicle to be included in the complex of surgical rehabilitation of patients with incompetence of the sphincter ani muscles. Optimization of the functional results of such operations holds much promise for the use of the method of muscular plastics on a mobile neurovascular pedicle in proctology.
