[A new disposable isostatic anal retractor for proctology].

Abstract

The Authors present the characteristics and the advantages derived by the use of a new disposable isostatic retractor resulted of the positive operative experience of several years. The aim of this experimentation was to test a new instrument helpful and simple to use in coloproctology. The efficiency of the new kit constitued by plastic material has been tested on 30 patients with haemorrhoidal disease, rectocele and anal fissures. The therapeutical results obtained, demonstrated that the new isostatic anal retractor have ameliorate the surgical procedures in all treated patients. The use of kit is indicated for the praticity, the manoeuvrability, a more visibility of operative space and in case of sphincterial hypotonia.
