English
Authors' recommendations: Fecal incontinence (FI) is loss of control of the bowels resulting in involuntary excretion of liquid or solid feces. The prevalence of FI ranges from 1% to 8% in healthy individuals and approaches 30% in institutionalized patients. FI affects 20 million non-institutionalized adults in the United States. FI has a negative impact on activities of daily living and quality of life. Current treatments for FI range from conservative measures aimed at reducing symptoms to surgical interventions intended to correct anal sphincter or pelvic floor abnormalities.
