Abstract
Several techniques have been described to restore continence after previous repair of anorectal malformations (ARM). In principle, these attempts have been based on: (1) secondary repair of the levator ani, (2) substitution for the levator by muscle grafts, (3) strengthening of the levator by muscle grafts, (4) construction of a sphincter from the bowel itself, (5) electronic devices to stimulate the muscle, and (6) restoration of dermal sensibility especially after mucosal ectopy or rectal prolapse. © 2006 Springer-Verlag.
