“…6 Other forms of "repair" like the postanal repair and total pelvic repair give high initial success rates; however, long-term results are disappointing. [6][7][8] Neosphincters, such as the gluteoplasty, graciloplasty, and artificial bowel sphincter, are accepted alternatives with success rates of respectively 60, 56 to 100, and 77 to 88 percent. 6,9 Neosphincter procedures are invasive, technically demanding, require a considerable learning curve, and are associated with morbidity.…”

“…Thus, we have explored the role of total pelvic floor repair (TPFR), which is a combi nation of post-anal repair (PAR) and anterior levatorplas ty (AL) in a non-randomized study. TPFR appeared to give promising early results [8]. The present report de scribes the clinical and physiological results of a random ized trial comparing PAR, AL [9] and TPFR for postobstetric neuropathic faecal incontinence.…”

“…116 Total pelvic floor repair fared slightly better for neuropathic fecal incontinence with 55 percent of patients continent to solid and liquid stools 15 months after the procedure. 117 8. Dynamic graciloplasty may have a role in the treatment of severe fecal incontinence when there is irreparable sphincter disruption.…”
