Fecal Incontinence after Rectal Prolapse Surgery
by Alyssa » Wed Sep 19, 2012 2:49 pm
This article by medwireNews Reporting states that fecal incontinence improves after surgery for rectal prolapse, but research shows that the degree of improvement is quite low.
After a mean follow-up period of 36 months, 68% of surgically treated patients had a reduction in the continence score.
In spite of this, nearly 60% of patients remained incontinent, with 55% reporting urgent incontinence and 32% reporting passive leakage.
