Fecal incontinence is a common but infrequently reported, imperfectly understood, multifactorial disease with far-reaching socioeconomic and psychological implications. Limited success with somewhat empirical surgical procedures implies that patients should be investigated fully, indications for surgery should be clear, and disability should be serious

Fecoflowmetry in Fecal Incontinence [PDF]
European Surgical Research, 1992 The fecoflowmetric pattern of fecal incontinence was studied in 38 patients. 21 patients had complete and 17 partial incontinence. Twenty normal controls of matching sex and age were also studied. EMG of external anal sphincter and puborectalis as well as the measuring of anal pressure were done.

Fecal incontinence (FI) is defined as the involuntary passage of fecal material through the anal canal. True incontinence must be differentiated from pseudo incontinence. FI is predominately a disease of the elderly or of institutional patients. Fecal incontinence in the nursing home population has been estimated at 47%.

The measurement of fecal incontinence is challenging. Because fecal incontinence is a symptom, the subjective perception of the patient must be the foundation of any evaluation of incontinence or the impact of incontinence. The lack of a criterion standard makes testing measures for reliability and validity more difficult.

Fecal Incontinence in the Elderly
Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 2009Fecal incontinence affects up to 20% of community-dwelling adults and more than 50% of nursing home residents, and is one of the major risk factors for elderly persons in the nursing home. Institutionalization itself is a risk factor (eg, immobility due to physical restraints). Management should focus on identifying and treating underlying causes, such

Pelvic floor dysfunction is related to neuropathic injury to the pelvic floor musculature. Clinically, the patient may present with genital prolapse or urinary or fecal incontinence. For a successful outcome, the physician must consider all pelvic compartments in the evaluation and treatment of patients with these disorders.

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1983
Fecal incontinence is frequently seen in elderly patients, particularly in association with dementia. It can result from underlying disease, fecal stasis, or neurologic disorders, some of which are reversible. With proper care and treatment, it is possible to reduce the prevalence of fecal incontinence in elderly patients.
