Effects and Mechanisms of Vaginal Electrical Stimulation on Rectal Tone and Anal Sphincter Pressure

“…[6][7][8] Anal plugs are devices inserted into the anal canal to block the loss of stool, but they can be difficult to tolerate. 9 Sphincteroplasty is the primary surgical management of patients with significant sphincter defects. However, recent results showed that initial successful outcomes after sphincteroplasty deteriorated over time.…”
