[Anatomical basis for a technic of cutting flaps out of the musculus rectus femoris for creating a rectal sphincter apparatus].

As demonstrate the surgical anatomy investigations of the m. rectus femoris performed in 100 preparations, obtained from corpses of persons belonging to various age periods, in connection with sphincteroplasty the vascular-nervous hilus of the muscle is projected at the level of the upper third of its medial part. The ascending branch of the lateral femoral circumflex artery with the vein of the same name and the muscular branch of the femoral nerve get into their composition. The intramuscular course of the vessels and nerves of the I-III orders of branching and that of the muscular fasciculi coincide. For the sphincteroplasty it is expedient to use muscular-tendinous flaps, cut out from the medial part of the musculus.
