Anal sphincter injury, fecal and urinary incontinence: a 34-year follow-up after forceps delivery (2003)
Journal Article
Bollard, R. C., Gardiner, A., Duthie, G. S., & Lindow, S. W. (2003). Anal sphincter injury, fecal and urinary incontinence: a 34-year follow-up after forceps delivery. Diseases of the colon & rectum, 46(8), 1083-1088. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10350-004-7284-8

PURPOSE: This study was designed to determine the long-term outcome of forceps delivery in terms of evidence of anal sphincter injury and the incidence of fecal and urinary incontinence. METHODS: Women who delivered in 1964 were evaluated by using en... Read More about Anal sphincter injury, fecal and urinary incontinence: a 34-year follow-up after forceps delivery.

Rectoanal reflex parameters in incontinence and constipation (2002)
Journal Article
Kaur, G., Gardiner, A., & Duthie, G. S. (2002). Rectoanal reflex parameters in incontinence and constipation. Diseases of the colon & rectum, 45(7), 928-933. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10350-004-6331-9

PURPOSE: The transient relaxation of the internal anal sphincter in response to rectal distention is believed to play an important role in the continence mechanism. Most anorectal physiology laboratories merely report the rectoanal inhibitory reflex... Read More about Rectoanal reflex parameters in incontinence and constipation.

Normal female anal sphincter: difficulties in interpretation explained (2002)
Journal Article
Bollard, R. C., Gardiner, A., Lindow, S., Phillips, K., & Duthie, G. S. (2002). Normal female anal sphincter: difficulties in interpretation explained. Diseases of the colon & rectum, 45(2), 171-175. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10350-004-6139-7

PURPOSE: Our aims were to quantify the nature, characteristics, and frequency of variations in female anal sphincter anatomy. METHODS: Nulliparous patients from the antenatal clinic and healthy volunteers of both genders were studied. Sphincter lengt...

Outpatient hand held manometry: comparison of techniques (2001)
Journal Article
Bollard, R. C., Gardiner, A., & Duthie, G. S. (2001). Outpatient hand held manometry: comparison of techniques. Colorectal Disease, 3(1), 13-16. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1463-1318.2001.00219.x

Objective. Anorectal manometry is an established important investigation in a number of disorders. The specialist ano-rectal laboratory is not always available, and a hand held manometer may be a useful tool in the outpatient setting to avoid an unne...

Obstetric anal sphincter injury - Prospective evaluation of incidence (1999)
Journal Article
Varma, A., Gunn, J., Gardiner, A., Lindow, S. W., & Duthie, G. S. (1999). Obstetric anal sphincter injury - Prospective evaluation of incidence. Diseases of the colon & rectum, 42(12), 1537-1542. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf02236202

PURPOSE An obstetrically damaged anal sphincter is the principal cause of the development of fecal incontinence in otherwise healthy females. Reports suggest that such damage complicates as many as 35 percent of primiparous vaginal deliveries, with 1... Read More about Obstetric anal sphincter injury - Prospective evaluation of incidence.
