[Surgical approach to longstanding complete rupture (author's transl)]. 1981

I Kosowski

Operations were performed on 26 cases of longstanding complete rupture of the perineum. Two wires of stainless metal were pulled through the lower parts of the levators and the outer sphincter to stabilise the other sutures and relieve them from stress. Faecal continence was restored in all women. Satisfactory sphincter function was established by periodical tonometric checks.
