Surgical Treatment of Fecal Incontinence
Fecal incontinence is a miserable, embarrassing problem which can severely limit a patient's social life. Treatment modalities include dietary and bowel management programs, drug therapy, biofeedback and surgery. Surgery may be necessary to correct an underlying problem causing the incontinence or to repair an injured or poorly functioning sphincter.
