Abstract
A total of 13 men underwent synchronous video/pressure/flow electromyography studies after abdominoperineal resection of the rectum. All patients had diminished pressure in the proximal urethra an an incompetent vesical neck suggestive of sympathetic denervation. Five patients (38%) had cystometric evidence of parasympathetic denervation, and 7 (54%) had electromyographic evidence of pudendal denervation. Apparently, denervation owing to surgical injury is an important cause of persistent symptoms after abdominoperineal resection of the rectum.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
