Popis: Although successful short-term results have been achieved with the use of overlapping sphincteroplasty and primary end-to- end repairs to treat fecal incontinence due to sphincteric injury, long-term failure rates may reach as high as 50%. This disadvantage associated with tension repairs may be overcome by utilizing a tension-free technique. Here the authors describe a new tension-free technique involving the use of prolene mesh.
