Summary: | Conservative therapy of faecal incontinence includes normalisation of colonic function, restauration of damaged anal skin and exercising methods. The most successful of those seems to be Biofeedback with good short time results up to 92% patients without further complaints, the long time results still being up to 67%. Prognosis depends on neuropathy, age and ability of perception and compliance. Passive electrostimulation replaces the damaged nerve and therefore has to be done lifelong. Increasing anal resting pressure seems to be a possible result. |
