Abstract
Sixty-one children with intractable constipation admitted between 1978-1981 under the care of the author were studied retrospectively. Ten of these patients were also studied prospectively by means of defaecating proctograms, and pre- and postoperative evoked anal potentials. It was found that 85.7% of the children who had anorectal myectomies benefited from the procedure. The possible mechanism by which the improvement is achieved is discussed.Entities:
