ABSTRACT Background Complex fistula‐in‐ano (FIA) poses significant clinical challenges due to its intricate anatomy and high recurrence rates. Traditional imaging techniques like MRI are limited by their two‐dimensional (2D) nature, prompting the use of three‐dimensional (3D) modeling for enhanced visualization. Methods This systematic review, adhering

People with spinal cord injury (SCI) experience bladder overactivity, which can cause incontinence. Dorsal genital nerve stimulation (DGNS) can suppress overactivity, providing a longer duration to reach a toilet. People with SCI trialed home‐based DGNS for 8 weeks. DGNS was effective in the laboratory, and participants found home‐based DGNS acceptable.

Association of bi‐parametric MRI measures with continence after robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy
Objective To investigate the association between pre‐ and postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements of the membranous urethra and the prostate volume and continence following robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Patients and Methods From December 2018 to June 2022, 100 continent patients undergoing unilateral nerve‐sparing or ...

Multifractal characteristics of external anal sphincter based on sEMG signals [PDF]
This work presents the application of Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis for the surface electromyography signals obtained from the patients suffering from rectal cancer. The electrical activity of an external anal sphincter at different levels of medical treatment is considered.

Inter-pulse intervals of external anal sphincter surface EMG signals recorded from colorectal cancer patients [PDF]
Intervals between electrical pulses generated by the electrical activity produced by the motor units of an external anal sphincter were studied at four time intervals during multimodal rectal cancer treatment. Probability distribution function of such intervals does not exhibit significant differences for all considered time intervals. It is found that
