The puborectal sling is a muscular structure formed by the puborectalis muscle, which is part of the pelvic floor. It encircles the rectum and helps maintain fecal continence by creating an angle between the rectum and anus. When the muscle contracts, it pulls the rectum forward, while relaxation allows for defecation. This mechanism is crucial for proper bowel function and control.
