[Anal sphincter reconstruction by interposition of an ileo-colonic segment and transposition of musculi glutaeus maximus bundles after resection of anorectal carcinoma].

From April 1983 to July 1987, 33 anorectal cancer patients were treated with segmental ileocolonic interposition and transposition of muscular bundles of musculi glutaeus maximus to reconstruct of anal sphincters after abdominoperineal resection of the carcinoma (Miles' operation). All patients were followed up for a half up to 3.5 years. The function of reconstructed anal sphincters was evaluated by fecal evacuating ability, by pressure measurement of the reconstructed internal and external sphincters, and by X-ray observation. The function was rated as good to perfect in all of the patients.
