Abstract:
The authors describe their experience with the Swash technique. It consists of the measurement of the latency over the distal segment of the motor branch of the pudendal nerve following a transrectal stimulation of the pudendal nerve during a rectal examination. The response is picked up from the anal sphincter by the use of a surface electrode and from the bulbocavernosus muscle with a needle electrode.
