Abstract:
It is now recognised that the results of surgical treatment for bowel incontinence are frequently rather disappointing. It is wrong to raise patients expectations and push patients into surgical treatment for bowel incontinence unless they are aware of the likely outcome measures. Frequently there is deterioration in continence with age, often surgical treatments last only a short period.
