| Popis: | Summary The complete release of the levator ani sling in patients with anal incontinence, due either to loss of sphincter or puborectalis muscle, is not only technically easier to perform but has shown improved results as compared with the partial release of the levator ani sling previously reported. 3 The effectiveness of the revised levator sling is based on the particular physiological properties of the levator muscle, resembling the sphincter muscle, and the anatomical position which permits a marked anterior angulation and compression of the rectum. |
