METHOD FOR PREDICTING SURGICAL RECTUM AND ANUS TREATMENT RESULTS IN CHILDREN Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves examining external sphincter of the anal orifice by introducing needle electrodes into muscle of external sphincter of the anal orifice. Frequency, amplitude and Willison coefficient are determined by applying computer data processing methods to make conclusions concerning sphincter position. Values of at least two of the characteristics being within the limits of T>150 mV/s, A>200mV, K>0.5, favorable prognosis is to be drawn. The values of at least two of the characteristics being within the limits of T>150 mV/s, A>200mV, K>0.5, incontinence of feces is to be diagnosed. EFFECT: enhanced accuracy of prediction. 4 dwg
