[Roentgeno-functional studies in ectopia of the anal canal in children].
Analysis of x-ray data on 70 pediatric patients aged one day-15 yrs, was performed. In 55 cases the investigation was conducted before the correction of ectopia of the anal canal, in 11 cases after the previously described operation for forming the anal orifice (FAO), in 4 cases there was stenosis of the anal orifice without ectopia. Radiograms performed during irrigoscopy and (or) with a Foley catheter were assessed. Weakening and then complete incompetence of the puborectal muscle, determining incontinence of feces, were shown to be proportional to age and a degree of stenosis of the colon orifice. A necessity of radical operation in the second half-year of the life or measures to ensure adequate bowel evacuation were shown.
