| Core Tip |
Injection of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) is a simple, technically feasible outpatient procedure. The initial satisfactory improvement of symptoms after BTX-A injection remarkably deteriorates after three months of the procedure from a median rate of 77.4% to 46%. However, repeated injections may provide better sustained results with no additional morbidities. The endorectal ultrasonography- and electromyography-guided techniques do not add significant value regarding both initial and long-term improvement. Combined lateral and posterior injections do not offer better results than lateral injection alone, on the contrary they can lead to higher complication rates. Although most of the studies reported very low complication rates after BTX-A injection; further studies on a larger number of patients are necessary to conclude the safety of this treatment. |
