Abstract
At 6 months 83 percent of patients had obtained some benefit from postanal repair but only 53 percent maintained this improvement with only 28 percent being markedly better. There was a trend toward a more favorable outcome in patients with greater squeezing pressures preoperatively but other tests were not of long-term predictive value.
