[Biofeedback technic in incontinence in high ano-rectal atresia].

Authors have employed biofeedback in functional rehabilitation of fecal incontinence after surgical treatment of high anorectal atresia. 34 patients have treated with that technique, of whom 27 underwent an levator plasty and 7 a muscular transplant procedure using a gracilis sling. A four channels Recording connected with a Arhan catheter and a TV-monitor visible to the patient have been employed. After a period of time variable from case to case, all patients of the "levator plasty" group prolonged the "alert-time" to a socially acceptable value, and all the patients of the "gracilis transplant" group obtained a complete fecal continence.
