| Popis: | Objective To evaluate the results of surgery in the treatment of faecal incontinence of obstetric origin and assess the effect of treatment on the quality of life of these patients. Patients and methods A consecutive series of 43 patients, who had undergone surgery for severe faecal incontinence of obstetric aetiology between March 1990 and March 2004, was studied. The following studies were carried out: clinical evaluation, anorectal manometry, anal endosonography (from 1996 on) and measurement of the pudendal nerve terminal motor latency. The degree of incontinence, both preoperative and at the end of follow-up was evaluated using the Cleveland Clinic Score (CCS). Quality of life assessment was made using the Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life Scale (FIQL). Results The study was completed on 35 (87%) of the 43 patients. The mean age in the series was 53 years, (range 28–73). After an average follow-up of 50.4 months (range 4–132) the mean CCS had reduced significantly, passing from 16 (range 8–20) to 6 (range 0–18; P |
