  • Title: Ano-rectal function assessed by manometry and electromyography after endorectal pull-through for Hirschsprung's disease.
    Author: Frenckner B, Lindström O.
    Journal: Z Kinderchir; 1983 Apr; 38(2):101-4. PubMed ID: 6637103.
    Abstract:
    Since 1975 the endorectal pull-through operation for Hirschsprung's disease has been favoured in this department. Out of 16 patients, 12 were examined 8 months to 6 years later by ano-rectal manometry and external sphincter electromyography. The results indicate a normal postoperative rectal capacity and rectal sensibility. There was no internal sphincter relaxation in response to a rectal distention. Resting and reflex activity of the external and sphincter were normal.
