Abstract

Fecal incontinence (FI) is a common condition, with as many as 9.5 % of women age ≥45 experiencing at least one episode per month. The past several years have brought forth many new minimally invasive therapeutic options for patients with this condition. Unfortunately, awareness of these options by both patients and medical providers remains low. This article reviews the current literature regarding the evaluation and management of fecal incontinence, with particular attention to novel therapeutic techniques.
