However, many studies have failed to show a correlation between outcome and change in the anorectal angle. This study was carried out to determine the effectiveness of anterior sphincteroplasty and levatorplasty in the treatment of faecal incontinence, regardless of aetiology. Thirty consecutive patients underwent surgery, 14 with traumatic sphincter injuries and 16 with idiopathic faecal incontinence. A satisfactory clinical result was obtained in ten (71 per cent) patients in the traumatic group and in ten (62 per cent) in the idiopathic group. This was associated with a significant increase in maximum voluntary contraction pressure in the traumatic group and in those patients who had a good result in the idiopathic group (traumatic: preoperative median 80 cmH2O (range 50\u2013115 cmH2O) versus postoperative 115 cmH2O (75\u2013290 cmH2O), P&amp;lt;0.005; idiopathic: preoperative 105 cmH2O (45\u2013190 cmH2O) versus postoperative 120 cmH2O (45\u2013230 cmH2O), P&amp;lt;0.05; Wilcoxon paired signed ranks test). There was also a significant improvement in anal sensation in the upper anal canal in both groups (traumatic: preoperative mean 17 mA versus postoperative 11 mA, P&amp;lt;0.05; idiopathic: preoperative 24 mA versus postoperative 9 mA, P &amp;lt;0.02). The anorectal angle increased in the idiopathic group at rest (preoperative median 105\u00b0 (range 86\u2013152\u00b0) versus postoperative 118\u00b0 (95\u2013180\u00b0), P&amp;lt;0.05). In conclusion, the type of approach (anterior or posterior) and the anorectal angle are irrelevant to the outcome of surgery for idiopathic faecal incontinence. Success appears to be related more to improved sphincter pressure and anal sensation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.1800761024","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,3]],"date-time":"2007-03-03T11:07:46Z","timestamp":1172920066000},"page":"1058-1060","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":64,"title":["Anterior
