Surgical options for fecal incontinence are evolving. Injectable therapies and sacral nerve stimulation are becoming key treatments for moderate to severe cases, potentially avoiding stomas.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Pelvic Floor Disorders

Background:

  • Fecal incontinence (FI) is a prevalent condition with significant psychosocial impact.
  • Current nonoperative management includes dietary changes, medications, and biofeedback.
  • Traditional surgical treatment, sphincteroplasty, is indicated for external sphincter defects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and evaluate the evidence for various surgical treatments for fecal incontinence.
  • To analyze the current trends and future directions in surgical management of FI.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of surgical options for fecal incontinence.
  • Critical evaluation of existing evidence for different procedures.
  • Analysis of treatment algorithms and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • The surgical landscape for fecal incontinence is shifting towards newer modalities.
  • Injectable therapies show promise for moderate FI.
  • Sacral nerve stimulation is a leading option for severe FI.

Conclusions:

  • Sphincteroplasty remains relevant for a select group with isolated sphincter defects.
  • Innovative treatments like injectable implants and sacral nerve stimulation are increasingly important.
  • The goal is to improve outcomes and avoid colostomy in most patients.
