Graciloplasty was performed at 43 patients with III stage of anal sphincter insufficiency. Program of preoperative preparation including therapeutic physical training and electrostimulation of gracilis muscle permitted to improve muscle's functional activity on 19.1%. Functional postoperative rehabilitation permitted to prevent the degenerative processes on displaced muscle and to improve the function of fecal continence. The good results after graciloplasty with functional rehabilitation has been achieved at 80%, satisfactory results at 8.6% patients.

Department of Surgery, Maastricht University Medical Center, Maastricht, the Netherlands.
Aim: Due to the introduction of a new implantable pulse generator (IPG), the Interstim II, patients with either a dynamic graciloplasty or an abdominally placed IPG for sacral neuromodulation could not undergo surgery to replace their IPG in the case of end of battery life. For these patients, the Medtronic Replacement Adaptor 09106 was created. This retrospective case series aims to study safety and feasibility of the Medtronic Replacement Adaptor 09106 in patients with abdominally placed IPGs.
