[Ano-rectal sphincter myectomy in children. Indications and results].

Ano-rectal myectomy, described by B. Duhamel in 1965, is the logical therapy of rectoanal achalasia; an experience of 117 cases is reported. Clinical examination and radiological investigations have been made prior to surgery. This surgical procedure is simple, without complication. Three kinds of rectoanal achalasia are described: achalasia with structural change of the internal sphincter (fibrosis, sclerosis); achalasia with a functional sphincteric disorder (with normal histology); achalasia with intrinsic innervation abnormality. Excellent results have been observed in the two first groups but more variable successful results in the third group which concerns short segments of Hirschsprung's disease.

The arterial blood supply of the human fetal diaphragm.

To gain a better understanding of the development of the human diaphragm, a study of the arterial supply was made in 20 fetuses. The Micropaque injection was injected either by an ascending route in the thoracic aorta or by a descending route in the left internal carotid below the ductus arteriosus. Two studies using diaphanization have displayed the diaphragmatic anastomoses. The phrenic and the intercostal a. seemed the most important to explain the diaphragm organogenesis.
