| Abstract: | PurposeThe aim of this multicentre study was to analyse the effects of patent sphincter lesions and previous sphincter repair on the results of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) treatment on patients with faecal incontinence (FI).MethodsPatients examined by endoanal ultrasound (EAUS) with FI as the indication for SNM treatment were included in the study. Data was collected from all the centres providing SNM treatment in Finland and analysed for differences in treatment outcomes.ResultsA total of 237 patients treated for incontinence with SNM had been examined by EAUS. Of these patients, 33 had a history of previous delayed sphincter repair. A patent sphincter lesion was detected by EAUS in 128 patients. The EAUS finding did not influence the SNM test phase outcome (p=0.129) or the final treatment outcome (p=0.233). Patient's history of prior sphincter repair did not have a significant effect on the SNM test (p=0.425) or final treatment outcome (p=0.442).ConclusionsResults of our study indicate that a sphincter lesion or previous sphincter repair has no significant effect on the outcome of SNM treatment. Our data suggests that delayed sphincter repair prior to SNM treatment initiation for FI is not necessary. |

(Helsingfors universitet, 2015)Objective of this article was to analyze whether the reporting of the 3rd and 4th degree obstetric anal sphincter injuries differ between the patient data recording systems. The study was retrospective. The setting included all six delivery units in the Hospital District of Helsinki and Uusimaa (HUS) comprising one third of all deliveries in Finland. Population was all deliveries in HUS in 2012 (n=18099). The incidence of the sphincter injury was extracted from three electronic medical record (EMR) systems (Obstetrix, Opera and Oberon), using the national versions of International Classification of Diseases 10th revision (ICD10) and the Nordic Classification of Surgical Procedures (NOMESCO). All observed cases were studied carefully from the patient records and the reliability of different systems was analyzed and compared to the data reported to national registers (MBR Medical Birth Register and HDR Hospital Discharge Register). Main outcome measure was sphincter injury rate in delivery units. We found that the actual rate of sphincter injury in all the EMRs combined in HUS was higher (1.8%) than the rate delivered from any single reporting system (from 1.5% to 1.7%) and varied even more among single delivery units. The coverage in the MBR (88%) was much higher than in the HDR (3%). In conclusion the simultaneous use of several patient data recording systems is confusing and prone for systematic errors. One common database – preferably an EMR with a structured format - would clarify the registering and enable reliable quality reports creating a sustainable base for quality improvements.

(Helsingin yliopisto, 2008)The aim of the study was to evaluate long-term results of operative treatment for Hirschsprung's disease(HD) and internal anal sphincter achalasia. Fecal continence and quality of life were evaluated by a questionnaire in 100 adult patients who had undergone surgery for HD, during 1950-75. Fecal continence was evaluated using a numerical scoring described by Holschneider. Fifty-four of the 100 patients underwent clinical examination, rigid sigmoidoscopy and manometric evaluation. In anorectal manometry basal resting pressure(BRP)and maximal squeeze pressure(MSP) were measured and voluntary sphincter force(VSF) was calculated by subtracting the BRP from MSP. The results of operative treatment for adult HD were compared with the results of the patients operated in childhood. In adult HD the symptoms are such mild that the patients attain adolescence or even adulthood. The patients with HD and cartilage-hair-hypoplasia were specifically evaluated. The outcome of the patients with internal anal sphincter achalasia operated on by myectomy was evaluated by a questionnaire and continence was evaluated using a numerical scoring described by Holschneider. Of the 100 patients operated on for HD 38 patients had completely normal bowel habits. A normal or good continence score was found in 91 our of 100 patients. Nine patients had fair continence. One of the patients with fair continence had Down's syndrome and two were mentally retarded for other reasons. Only one patient suffered from constipation. In anorectal manometry the difference in BRP between patients with normal and good continence was statistically significant, whereas the difference between good and fair continence groups was not statistically significant. The differences on MSP and VSF between patient groups with different continence outcome were not statistically significant. The differences between patient groups and normal controls were statistically significant in BRP and MSP. In VSF there was not statistically significant difference between the patients and the normal controls. The VSF reflects the working power of the muscles including external sphincter, levator ani and gluteal muscles. The patients operated at adult age had as good continence as patients operated in childhood. The patients with HD and cartilage-hair-hypoplasia had much more morbidity and mortality than non-cartilage-hair-hypoplasia HD patients. The mortality was as high as 38%. In patients with internal anal sphincter achalasia the constipation was cured or alleviated by myectomy whereas a significant number suffered from soiling-related social problems.
