“…Das Auftreten von Stuhlinkontinenz zeigt sich deutlich altersabhängig: In Altersheimen wird von einer Prävalenz der Stuhlinkontinenz von bis zu 47 % berichtet [1,5]. Infolge von Stuhlinkontinenz fallen signifikante Kosten durch notwendige Diagnostik, Therapie und Pflegebedürftigkeit sowie Produktivitätsverlust und gar Arbeitsunfähigkeit an [6,7]. Diese Aspekte unterstreichen die hohe Relevanz des Krankheitsbildes der Stuhlinkontinenz, das aufgrund des demografischen Wandels in Deutschland in Zukunft noch an Bedeutung gewinnen wird.…”

“…There is strong evidence showing that patients who sustain these injuries are at risk of developing clinical symptoms of incontinence not only shortly after the event, but also years later once compensatory mechanisms become less effective . However, it is evident that other anatomical or structural changes, apart from functional factors, may also play a role . The puborectalis muscle, part of the levator ani complex, arises from the inferior margin of the os pubis bilaterally and fuses in the upper part of the anal canal, forming a sling with a characteristic U shape.…”

“…By using different terms, such as diarrhea, fecal urgency, accident, etc., and privacy of the clinic environment should allow more patients to discuss about their symptoms. Information retrieved from history taking should include severity, onset duration, clinical subtypes, and associated symptoms, for example, rectal prolapse, pelvic organ prolapse, and urinary incontinence [41]. Stool diary and stool form charts such as the Bristol stool form scale can be used for better communication [15].…”

“…Aggravating factors should be elicited. These include detailed obstetric history and abdominal-colon-anorectal surgical history, and coexisting medical condition should be noted [41]. Previous and current treatments and results should be recorded [41].…”
