Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Pelvic Floor Disorders

Background:

  • Fecal incontinence affects over 30% of patients, persisting despite current treatments.
  • There is a significant unmet need for effective fecal incontinence therapies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and discuss novel therapeutic procedures for fecal incontinence.
  • To highlight the efficacy of second-line treatments for refractory cases.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and discussion of authors' own work.
  • Analysis of first-line and second-line treatment modalities for fecal incontinence.

Main Results:

  • First-line treatments include dietary changes, medications, biofeedback, and surgical repairs.
  • Second-line options like dynamic graciloplasty (DGP) and artificial bowel sphincter (ABS) create a neosphincter.
  • DGP and ABS achieve success rates of 56%-88%.

Conclusions:

  • Dynamic graciloplasty and artificial bowel sphincters offer effective solutions for fecal incontinence.
  • Sacral nerve stimulation is a promising new treatment for non-functioning sphincters, though experience is limited.
  • Second-line treatments are successful and should be considered for patients who fail initial therapies.
