Rectum denervation was achieved by transection of the L-6 spinal nerves, the spinal nerves below L-6, and the pelvic nerve. Four months postoperatively, retrograde nerve tracing, regenerative nerve morphological examination, and rectal manometry assessment were performed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>RESULTS<\/jats:title>Regenerative nerve morphological examination showed good axonal regeneration after genitofemoral nerve transfer. Nerve stimulation induced increased rectal pressures in 10 of 12 rats in the nerve transfer group. The mean rectal pressure in this group was 54.9 \u00b1 7.1 mm Hg, which is higher than the mean value in the nerve resection group (5.5 \u00b1 2.0 mm Hg) but lower than that in the control group (70.6 \u00b1 8.5 mm Hg) (p < 0.05). The appearance of FluoroGold-labeled neurons in the L-1 and L-2 spinal cord segments in the nerve transfer group confirmed the formation of new neural pathways.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>The results have demonstrated that genitofemoral nerve\u2013pelvic nerve transfer can achieve nerve regeneration.
