Machine-Learning-Enhanced Soft Robotic System Inspired by Rectal Functions for Investigating Fecal incontinence [PDF]

arXiv
Fecal incontinence, arising from a myriad of pathogenic mechanisms, has attracted considerable global attention. Despite its significance, the replication of the defecatory system for studying fecal incontinence mechanisms remains limited largely due to social stigma and taboos. Inspired by the rectum's functionalities, we have developed a soft robotic

Power, Control, and Data Acquisition Systems for Rectal Simulator Integrated with Soft Pouch Actuators [PDF]

arXiv
Fecal incontinence (FI) is a significant health issue with various underlying causes. Research in this field is limited by social stigma and the lack of effective replication models. To address these challenges, we developed a sophisticated rectal simulator that integrates power, control, and data acquisition systems with soft pouch actuators.

Fistulotomy versus fistulectomy for simple fistula‐in‐ano: a systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
This systematic review evaluated the techniques of fistulotomy and fistulectomy for simple fistula‐in‐ano. Neither technqiue showed superiority in regards to healing time, wound infection rate, flatus incontinence, faecal incontinence, or recurrence rate. Abstract Background Perianal fistulas are a common anorectal pathology.
