Percutaneous infracoccygeal Botulinum toxin injection to puborectalis
"The intervention is an injection of 200 units of Botulinum toxin type A in to the puborectalis muscle under ultrasound guidance.~In the prone position, the puborectalis muscle will be identified below the coccyx using ultrasound. After skin preparation using 70% Isopropyl Alcohol Pad, and up to 5ml of local anaesthetic (1% lidocaine), an electromyography (EMG) needle will be inserted and the puborectalis muscle stimulated using a current to confirm correct needle position. 200 units of BTXA (Botox, Allergan, Ireland) prepared in 2 ml of saline solution and drawn up using a 2ml syringe. 1ml (100 units) of BTXA solution is injected through the EMG needle into the puborectalis muscle to each side of the midline, achieving a total of 200 units. The needle is withdrawn, and the procedure is complete."
