| Core Tip |
Gut sphincter corrections are a difficult problem, because each sphincter has two opposite functions, that of closure and opening, and in repairing one, there is a risk of damaging the other, as demonstrated by the analysis of the literature on interventions for difficult transit concerning the lower esophageal sphincter and anal sphincter, as well as for gastroesophageal reflux and fecal incontinence. Furthermore, artificial sphincters (ASs) capable of closing and opening with various mechanisms, such as hydraulic, magnetic, etc., have suffered many complications, so in practice few are used. Hence, it would be desirable to use computational bioengineering methods to create an efficient and safe AS. |
