Anterior anal sphincter repair for fecal incontinence: Good longterm results are possible (2006)
Journal Article
Maslekar, S., Gardiner, A. B., & Duthie, G. S. (2007). Anterior anal sphincter repair for fecal incontinence: Good longterm results are possible. Journal of The American College of Surgeons, 204(1), 40-46. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jamcollsurg.2006.10.008

Background: Anterior anal sphincter repair (ASR) is standard treatment for fecal incontinence resulting from an obstetrically damaged anal sphincter. Longterm results of repair have generally been shown to be poor. This review of single-unit series a...

A new method of assessing anal sphincter integrity using inverted vectormanometry (2006)
Journal Article
Kaur, G., Gardiner, A., & Duthie, G. S. (2006). A new method of assessing anal sphincter integrity using inverted vectormanometry. Diseases of the colon & rectum, 49(8), 1160-1166. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10350-006-0556-8

PURPOSE: Vectorgraphy as an integrated mapping of radial pressure profiles of the anal canal has been used to attempt identification of pressure-related defects with doubtful reliability since vectorgraphs bear no resemblance to endoanal ultrasound s...

Investigation and treatment of faecal incontinence (2006)
Journal Article
Maslekar, S., Gardiner, A., Maklin, C., & Duthie, G. S. (2006). Investigation and treatment of faecal incontinence. Postgraduate Medical Journal, 82(968), 363-371. https://doi.org/10.1136/pgmj.2005.044099

Faecal incontinence is a debilitating condition affecting people of all ages, and significantly impairs quality of life. Proper clinical assessment followed by conservative medical therapy leads to improvement in more than 50% of cases, including pat...

Can artificial neural networks predict which patients need a colonoscopy? (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gardiner, A., Maslekar, S., & Duthie, G. (2006). Can artificial neural networks predict which patients need a colonoscopy?. Gut : journal of the British Society of Gastroenterology, 55, A23 - A23

Introduction: Artificial neural networks (ANN) are computer programs used to identify complex relations within data sets undetectable with conventional linear statistical analysis. One such complex problem is the prediction of need for lower gastroin... Read More about Can artificial neural networks predict which patients need a colonoscopy?.

Sacral nerve neuromodulation as primary treatment for faecal incontinence with disrupted anal sphincters: medium and long-term results (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gardiner, A., Maslekar, S., & Duthie, G. (2006). Sacral nerve neuromodulation as primary treatment for faecal incontinence with disrupted anal sphincters: medium and long-term results. Gastroenterology, 130(4), A728 - A728

Introduction The standard treatment for faecal incontinence secondary to obstetric sphincterdamage is anal sphincter repair. However, the results of this procedure deteriorate withtime. Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) has become an established therapy...

Non-medical colonoscopy (2006)
Journal Article
Maslekar, S. K., Gardiner, A., Hughes, M., & Duthie, G. S. (2006). Non-medical colonoscopy. Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 63(5), AB114. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gie.2006.03.148

Aims: There is increasing demand for colonoscopy especially with introduction of screening programmes. Though colonoscopy is performed by doctors and nurses, there is an acute shortage of trained colonoscopists

Non-medical colonoscopists are safe and effective: results from randomised controlled trial (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gardiner, A., Skinn, E., Maslekar, S., & Duthie, G. Non-medical colonoscopists are safe and effective: results from randomised controlled trial

Introduction: There is an increasing demand for colonoscopy, especially with introduction of screening programmes. Though it is performed by doctors and nurses, there is an acute shortage of trained colonoscopists. Non-medical personnel were therefor...

Randomised controlled trial of sedation for colonoscopy: Entonox versus intravenous sedation (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Maslekar, S. K., Hughes, M., Skinn, E., Gardiner, A., Culbert, B., & Duthie, G. S. Randomised controlled trial of sedation for colonoscopy: Entonox versus intravenous sedation

Introduction: Intravenous sedation for colonoscopy is associated with cardio-respiratory complications, delayed recovery and prolonged drowsiness. We aimed to determine whether inhaled Entonox
