Anal incontinence: evaluation and biofeedback therapy.

Incontinence is a very stigmatizing symptom in our society. About 1% of the adult population is affected by fecal incontinence. In the evaluation anorectal manometry and defecography play a major role. Therapy often is still disappointing. In recent years simple retaining or biofeedback therapy have been reported to improve about 70% of incontinent patients. Within one year we treated 19 patients. Success was achieved in 69%. Biofeedback training, therefore, should be attempted prior to considering surgery.
