The anorectal angle was measured and videourodynamics performed on 17 constipated women with urinary symptoms. Mean (s.e.m.) values obtained with anorectal manometry were lower in women with faecal incontinence and urinary symptoms than in controls (maximum resting pressure 42\u00b75(8\u00b71) versus 82\u00b75(9\u00b73) cmH2O, P = 0\u00b7001; maximum attained pressure 80\u00b75(13\u00b77) versus 216\u00b72(11\u00b72) cmH2O, P = 0\u00b7001; maximum squeeze increment 35\u00b73(7\u00b75) versus 141\u00b76(100) cmH2O, P = 0\u00b7001), indicating a weakened puborectalis and external anal sphincter. Mean(s.e.m.) anorectal angles at rest, squeeze and strain were all significantly greater in the doubly incontinent women than in those with constipation (114(3\u00b78) versus 93(5\u00b79)\u00b0, P = 0\u00b701; 103(2\u00b75) versus 78(3\u00b75)\u00b0, P &amp;lt; 0\u00b7001; 120(2\u00b79) versus 104(4\u00b72)\u00b0, P = 0\u00b701). Urinary incontinence was worse in the doubly incontinent than in the constipated women (eight of nine versus one of eight with grade 2a or higher, P = 0\u00b7002). These results suggest that doubly incontinent women have a significantly weakened pelvic floor and that this should be taken into account before any planned surgery for urinary incontinence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.1800820210","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,3]],"date-time":"2007-03-03T21:37:25Z","timestamp":1172957845000},"page":"173-176","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Pelvic floor physiology in women with faecal incontinence and urinary symptoms"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"82","author":[{"given":"A C","family":"Thorpe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, The Royal London Hospital , Whitechapel, London,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J P","family":"Roberts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, The Royal London Hospital , Whitechapel, London,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N S","family":"Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, The Royal London Hospital , Whitechapel, London,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J P","family":"Blandy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, The Royal London Hospital , Whitechapel, London,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D F","family":"Badenoch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, The Royal London Hospital , Whitechapel, London,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1995,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024092814382166900_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"656","DOI":"10.1136\/gut.18.8.656","article-title":"Sphincter denervation in anorectal incontinence and rectal prolapse","volume":"18","author":"Parks","year":"1977","journal-title":"Gut"},{"key":"2024092814382166900_bib2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"614","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.1800710817","article-title":"Slowed conduction in the pudendal nerves in idiopathic (neurogenic) faecal incontinence","volume":"71","author":"Kiff","year":"1984","journal-title":"Br J Surg"},{"key":"2024092814382166900_bib3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"531","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.1800680804","article-title":"Physiological studies of the anal sphincter musculature in faecal incontinence and rectal prolapse","volume":"68","author":"Neill","year":"1981","journal-title":"Br J Surg"},{"key":"2024092814382166900_bib4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"422","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1464-410X.1985.tb06302.x","article-title":"Perineal nerve damage in genuine stress urinary incontinence.
