DOI: 10.1002/bjs.11567
Abstract: Editor Kirkham et al.1 concluded in their review of the current evidence for magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) that it is ‘being used despite a lack of robust evidence for its effectiveness’. We disagree. Their study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jum.15407
Abstract: The normal female external anal sphincter (EAS) is shorter anteriorly than laterally and posteriorly. Furthermore, the thickness of the very proximal part of the circular EAS is thinner than 50% of the lateral and posterior… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/nau.24261
Abstract: In a recent preclinical study, we noticed that injection of cells in the urethral sphincter by needle through a cystoscope under visual control frequently yielded in misplacement or loss of cells. We, therefore, investigated if… read more here.
