[Muscle transplantation as a means of achieving continence in ano-rectal atresia].

Correction of incontinence as the sequel of a pull-through operation for anorectal atresia, leaving aside cases due to a mistake of the surgical technique, is based on the construction of a new sphincter. This can be done in several ways, using striped, pedicled, denervated, free, or, more recently, smooth muscle. The techniques, objectives, and results are described with reference to the latest data in the literature.
