Practice Parameters for the Treatment of Fecal Incontinence

Fecal Incontinence in Elderly Koreans

“…Dietary fiber may improve stool consistency by absorbing intraluminal water and decrease incontinence symptoms, because controlling solid stool is easier than controlling liquid stool. 8,21,29 However, intake of fiber as medication did not change the symptoms of FI in another observational study. 2 Further randomized controlled trials with dietary fiber are needed.…”

“…This study justifies this approach, although the association found in the study was weak because the data were cross‐sectional.

What is the best option for failed sphincter repair?

“…Postoperative CCFFIS was evaluated in all 53 patients without a stoma at the last follow-up. The median postoperative CCFFIS had decreased from 17.5 (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20) to 11.5 (0-20) in RS patients (P < 0.001), from 18.7 (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20) to 8.6 (0-16) in ABS patients (P = 0.009) and from 17.6 (10-20) to 9.1 (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18) in SNS patients (P < 0.001). There was no difference in the postoperative CCFFIS among groups (P = 0.25).…”
