Abstract
Our study suggests that in the long term, one-third of patients are totally continent after sphincteroplasty. One-half of patients are satisfied, but only if their incontinence to feces has totally disappeared. Results of sphincteroplasty deteriorate with time. One factor in poor prognosis is the presence of an associated defect of the internal anal sphincter.
