FUNCTIONAL STUDY OF CICATRICIAL STRICTURES OF THE ANORECTAL REGION IN CHILDREN

Abstract

According to the literature, cicatricial stenosis of the anorectal region is the most common complication after surgery for anal and rectal atresia in children. The authors examined, examined, and analyzed 84 pediatric patients who underwent surgery for anorectal malformations and experienced complications with cicatricial strictures of the anorectal region in the postoperative period. The study group consisted of 47 patients who underwent new methods for the examination and treatment of cicatricial strictures of the anorectal region, which we developed. The control group consisted of 37 patients who underwent traditional, previously used methods for the examination and treatment of cicatricial strictures of the anorectal region.The study showed that the examination methods used - myography and sphincter muscle training by inserting a closed tube into the end of an enema bulb for cicatricial strictures of the anorectal area - were less traumatic and less expensive, and yielded comparatively good results.
