| Research Abstract |
1) Improvement of surgical technique of dynamic graciloplasty
We have attempted to improve surgical technique of dynamic graciloplasty in two ways ; improvement of rectal continence after surgery and ability of evacuation. As to rectal continence we have tried to develop new training schedule for 8 weeks in order to obtain more effective program. For improvement of ability of rectal evacuation electrical stimulator has already been used.
2) Objective assessments for anal function
Clinical, physiological and anatomical assessments were carried out before and after the operation. We measured the functional parameters preoperatively. The same assessments were carried out before and after the electrical stimulation of the gracilis muscle and after closing the covering stoma. We have found that resting anal canal pressure increased after electrical stimulation.
3) Comparison between clinical outcomes after dynamic graciloplasty and those after abdominoperineal resection
Psychological impact of having permanent abdominal stoma and possible disordered defecation after the operation was assessed using scenario based questionnaire in patients who was the candidates of this operation and those who had previously undergone abdominoperineal resection. The assessments revealed that although body image not having permanent abdominal stoma is clearly important patients also seemed to value good anal functional after graciloplasty.
