Anorectal incontinence in adults: Pathogenesis and treatment
Journal Title: Αρχεία Ελληνικής Ιατρικής - Year 2002, Vol 19, Issue 6
Abstract
Anorectal incontinence constitutes a major medical and social problem. It may be defined as the inadvertent or uncontrolled passage of enteric content and it is mainly due to damage of the anal sphincter mechanism and to disorder of the anorectal sensibility. Management of anorectal incontinence may be conservative or surgical after the accurate diagnosis of the cause, which is achieved by a good history, physical examination and special investigations.
