Abstract

The role of anal sensation in fecal control is well established. A new operative method of creating a skin-lined anal canal using the patient's foreskin, as a secondary procedure, in patients with anal (colonic) prolapse following surgery for high anorectal anomalies, is described. The results in five patients treated between 1967 and 1979 are presented. A sixth patient, treated in 1983, is not included due to the short follow-up period.
