  • Title: [Results of inadequate aftercare following surgical correction of proctatresia (author's transl)].
    Author: Kraeft H, Holschneider AM, Hecker WC.
    Journal: Klin Padiatr; 1977 Nov; 189(6):445-50. PubMed ID: 563942.
    Abstract:
    For deep proctatresia, postoperative aftercare consisting of adequate, long-term bougienage is important. On the basis of 10 cases, it was shown that inadequate postoperative bougienage for proctatresia leads to formation of a megacolon and to overflow incontinence. The incontinence can then only be controlled by carrying out a proctectomy and a sigmoidectomy together with surgical formation of the gracilis. This proved to be satisfactory for all 10 cases presented.
