Core Tip	Faecal incontinence is very frequent and is associated with severe consequences for patients. Available treatment outcomes are not optimal, particularly in the long-term. Stem cells, with or without bioengineering, could improve these results, as demonstrated in other clinical settings. We present a descriptive review of the published literature about faecal incontinence and stem cells, and discuss the existing limitations and concerns. Preclinical studies have confirmed the feasibility and safety of stem cells, and show some interesting results; the limited clinical experience confirms the safety and potential efficacy. However, further studies are needed to obtain clear conclusions.
