    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Rectal incontinence is a complex condition with diverse etiologies.
    • Understanding the physiology and pathological anatomy is crucial for effective management.
    • Hemorrhoidectomy is a common procedure that can, in rare cases, lead to iatrogenic rectal incontinence.

    Observation:

    • A case of rectal incontinence occurred after a hemorrhoidectomy procedure.
    • The patient's condition was evaluated based on clinical presentation, etiology, physiology, and pathological anatomy.

    Findings:

    • Gracilis muscle transplantation, utilizing the Pikrell technique, was performed to address the rectal incontinence.
    • The authors compared the outcomes of this surgical approach with other current procedures for rectal incontinence.
