Abstract:
:Fecal incontinence (FI) has a significant social and economic impact on the patient and the community. In women, obstetric injury is commonly associated with the development of FI. Understanding FI is aided by a good knowledge of the pelvic floor anatomy and continence mechanisms. This same knowledge along with a good history and physical can guide the physician in selecting appropriate studies and treatment options. Surgical treatment of FI is currently the best option when a sphincter defect exists. The long-term prognosis of the repair is disappointing, however. Ongoing investigations continue in the hopes of getting closer to a cure and to reclaiming the patient's former quality of life.
