- Abstract:
- Overlapping sphincteroplasty is the method of choice for isolated anterior sphincter defects. Patients over 60 years of age can undergo this operation with similar good results as in younger patients. However, preoperative physiologic assessment of the pelvic floor is necessary for a good postoperative outcome.
