| Core Tip |
This is the first study in which the incidence of fecal incontinence, especially urge incontinence, has been studied after an anal fistula procedure that involves division of only the internal anal sphincter and sparing of the external anal sphincter. Overall incontinence occurred in 31% of patients in the postoperative period. Urge and gas incontinence accounted for the majority of incontinence cases (28.3%). The benefits of Kegel exercises (KE) in reversing fecal incontinence have been highlighted for the first time. KE, initiated early in the postoperative period, reversed incontinence in a significant majority of patients. Even in patients with residual incontinence, the severity of incontinence became significantly reduced. |
