- Title
Surgical Management of Fecal Incontinence: A Historical Perspective.
- Authors
Fertel, Simone; Propst, Katie
- Abstract
Fecal incontinence (FI) is a diagnosis that is prevalent but often overlooked. With the devastating effect that FI has on patients, it is imperative that providers have the tools and knowledge to elicit information on FI symptoms from patients and provide management options for this condition. The historical management for patients with FI had not had significantly positive results until the emergence of sacral neuromodulation. This article discusses the historical background of the assessment and management of FI and the surgeries that have transformed treatment options for patients who suffer with this condition.
