    • Gastroenterology
    • Colorectal Surgery

    Background:

    • Sphincter ani incompetence, a condition affecting fecal continence, presents varying degrees of severity.
    • Understanding treatment indications and outcomes is crucial for managing patients with this condition.

    Observation:

    • This study reviewed 18 patients diagnosed with sphincter ani incompetence.
    • Sixteen patients presented with moderate to severe (II and III degree) incompetence.

    Findings:

    • Fifteen patients underwent surgical intervention for sphincter ani incompetence.
    • Long-term follow-up in 12 patients revealed good functional results in 10.
    • Surgical treatment demonstrated high efficacy in restoring anal sphincter function.

    Implications:

    • Prompt disease recognition and consultation with a proctologist are vital for optimizing patient outcomes.
    • Effective management strategies can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals with fecal incontinence.
