AI Article Synopsis
- Fecal incontinence often occurs in patients with rectal prolapse, and testing the pudendal nerve (PNTML) can help predict surgical outcomes.
- There is ongoing debate about how well preoperative PNTML test results relate to postoperative fecal incontinence, indicating a need for more research.
- The analysis aims to evaluate existing studies on PNTML testing in rectal prolapse and suggest statistical methods for better understanding the data.
Article Abstract
Fecal incontinence is a common symptom among patients with rectal prolapse. Pudendal nerve terminal motor latency (PNTML) testing can serve as a reference indicator for predicting the outcomes of rectal prolapse surgery, thereby assisting surgeons in formulating more appropriate surgical plans. The direct correlation between preoperative PNTML testing results and postoperative fecal incontinence in patients with rectal prolapse remains a contentious issue, necessitating further clarification. Thus, we analyze the existing publications from both clinical and statistical perspectives to comprehensively evaluate the accuracy of preoperative PNTML testing in rectal prolapse and provide some feasible statistical solutions.
