Anorectal anomalies: anorectal manometric function and anal endosonography in relation to functional outcome.

Abstract:

:To assess the relation between continence and the manometric and endosonographic state of the anorectal segment after surgery for anorectal anomalies (ARA), 33 adolescents operated upon for ARA and 14 controls were examined. Seventeen patients had low and 16 intermediate or high ARA. Fecal continence was recorded, and anal canal manometry was performed by microtransducer. The sphincter muscle complex and its relation to the anal opening was visualized by anal endosonography (ES). Ten patients had perfect continence, 10 had staining, and 13 had soiling. The anal canal resting and squeeze pressures were significantly different in all three groups, and continence function was significantly correlated to anal canal pressures. By anal ES, the internal (IAS) and the external anal sphincters (EAS) were identified with various amounts of scar tissue in all patients. In patients with high or intermediate anomalies the IAS was missing in the lower part of the anal canal, and abundant scar tissue was identified in the EAS in all patients. In patients with good continence function, the EAS was better preserved than in patients with major incontinence. The position of the anus in the EAS muscle complex was assessed, and varying degrees of eccentrically placed anal canals were identified. Continence function after surgery for ARA is thus correlated to anal canal pressures and ES images. ES, which is painless and suitable for use in children, is a valuable tool for assessing perianal structures, and the findings may serve as a helpful guide for corrective surgery.
