Rat model of anal sphincter injury and two approaches for stem cell administration

Figure 6 Functional studies (anal manometry). A and B: Once the time for registry stabilization (30 to 60 min) was surpassed, spontaneous, rhythmic contractions in the form of “plateaus” with multiple fasciculations (peaks) appeared; C and D: Postoperatively, findings were consistent with a total sphincter lesion, the activity disappeared and was substituted by a gentle oscillation of basal line, without a recognizable pattern and irrespective of the applied treatment. To visualize the values of registries analyzed parameters see Table 1.
