Anorectal pressure monitoring during surgery on sacral lipomeningocele. Case report.
Intraoperative monitoring of anorectal pressure was used in a case of sacral lipomeningocele accompanied by congenital dermal sinus to protect the physiological function of the anorectal sphincters. This monitoring system consists of a manometric anorectal balloon and neural electrical stimulation. The system was able to differentiate functioning neural structures from surrounding tissues during the operation.
