[A pilot study: correction of the levator hiatus using an anal sling as a surgical treatment of faecal incontinence].

Introduction: Faecal incontinence is a significantly depressing and mentally devastating disability. Surgical treatment, as a first choice method, is indicated for incontinence originating as a result of traumatic or iatrogenic infliction of the sphincter apparatus, particularly of the external sphincter. In case of idiopathic (neurogenic) incontinence, it is indicated very exceptionally, if ever.

[Micturition, sexual and defecation disorders in middle-aged women after pelvic fractures. A comparative study].

Purpose Of The Study: To present the results of a three-year study on micturition, defecation, gynecological and sexual disorders in middle-aged women who sustained pelvic fractures.

Material And Methods: A group of 33 female patients who were treated for unstable pelvic fractures (AO types B or C) in the 2004-2009 period were evaluated (treated group) and compared with 31 women who had given vaginal birth at least once and went to see a urologist because of urinary problems in the period from 2009 to 2010 (control group). The questionnaires used in the study included ICIQ, UIQ, UDI and PISQ12 instruments.

[Comparison of micturition, sexual and defecation disorders in females following type B and C pelvic fractures].

Introduction: The objective of this work is to present results obtained in a three-year study focussed on micturition, defecation and sexual disorders in women of active age.

Methods: The monitored set consisted of 33 female patients treated in 2004-2009 for unstable pelvic fracture (B-type or C-type according to AO classification). Out of them 25 patients suffered B-type fracture and 8 patients suffered C-type fracture.

[The spectrum of diaphragmatic injuries managed in a Prague traumatology centre].

Introduction: Diaphragmatic injuries may result from blunt or penetrating injuries. The symptomatology is usually overlaid by symptoms of associated abdominal or thoracic injuries or by symptoms of other systems injuries in polytraumas. Multidetector computer tomography (MDTC) facilitates the improvement of preoperative diagnostics in blunt injuries.

Peroperative optical autofluorescence biopsy--verification of its diagnostic potential.

The authors tested the diagnostic potential of the portable autofluorescence optical system that was developed in the preoperative evaluation of resection margins, and thus of the resection line safety in patients with low-positioned colorectal carcinoma. A total of 217 spectral measurements of the fluorescence properties of normal (117) and malignant (100) tissues in 19 patients with colorectal carcinoma were accomplished. The measured spectra thus acquired were then evaluated using logistic regression.
