Abstract
Objective of this study is investigation of effectiveness of electromiostimulation of anal sphincter for incontinence treatment after sphincter saving surgery for distal rectal cancer.
Materials and methods. 54 patients after ultra-low anterior resection with hand-sewn coloanal anastomosis performed between end of 2008 till February of 2010 entered the trial. All patients received preoperative radiotherapy.
Results. All patients showed marked improvement in continence (according to Wexner scale) and higher quality of life after electromiostimulation (by FIQL score).
Conclusion. Electromiostimulation of anal sphincter for patients after ultra-low anterior resection is effective and allows improvement of functional results and accelerate social rehabilitation of this group of patients.
