Treatment of contractures of the lower extremity joints in patients with infantile cerebral palsy against the background of prolonged epidural blockade

Fecal incontinence in children after surgical correction of anorectal defects and trauma of the holding apparatus of the rectum in certain cases can be dependent on low basal pressure in the anal canal at the expense of incompetence of the interior sphincter muscle of the anus. In order to eliminate low pressure in the anal canal we introduced polyacrylamide gel "DAM +" into its submucous layer. The introduction of this volume-forming substance into the anal canal was an effective procedure. Fecal incontinence became less in all cases, and completely regressed in 50% of the patients.
