Fecal incontinence
Abstract
Fecal incontinence is a debilitating and socially embarrassing condition. Significant advances in the evaluation and treatment of this condition have been made in recent years, and several new treatment modalities are in the pipeline to be made available to affected patients. This article reviews the workup and operative and nonoperative management of fecal incontinence, and it discusses the emerging role of methods, such as bioinjectable agents and sacral nerve stimulation.
