METHOD OF PREDICTING ENCOPRESIS AFTER ANORECTOPLASTY IN CHILDREN Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61B1/07 A61B10/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to paediatric surgery, and can be used for predicting results of operative treatment of rectum and anus atresia in children. Anorectal area is examined by methods of laser Doppler flowmetry, optic tissue oxymetry and laser fluorescence in not less than 4 points. In each of the points determined are: index of microcirculation - I_mi, volume of blood filling - V_bi, index of blood oxygenetion - SO_2i; intensity of radiation of collagen and elastin fluorescence - I_fki, I_f"э"i and intensity of diffused laser radiation I_li. Specific consumption of oxygen by tissue, as ratio SO_2i/V_bi, ratio of index of microcirculation to volume of blood filling- I_mi/V_bi are calculated and coefficient of fluorescent contrast of fraction of tissue proteins η_fi is determined by means of computer processing. All obtained values on 4 points are averaged to obtain average values of SO₂/V_b; η_f, and if values SO₂/V_b ⁼0.01-2, I_m/V_b=0.01-1; η_t=0.01-1, prediction is estimated as favourable.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to estimate change of blood flow, hypoxia and disorganisation of intercellular components of connective tissue of anorectal area in a reliable way and make prognostic conclusions as to selection of individual treatment.
