Fecal incontinence is the inability to control the passage of gas or stool. It can be a debilitating condition severely affecting one’s quality of life..

There can be a number of causes, with pelvic nerve and muscle injury during childbirth being the most common. Though more common in women, it can also affect men and even children.

Treatment for fecal incontinence has steadily improved over the last several years.  There has been a progressive transition from invasive surgical reconstruction to novel minimally invasive techniques to help improve bowel function.

All treatment options are provided to patients and great care is taken to identify the root of the problem so that the best treatment can be implemented.

We utilize proven non-invasive options and surgical techniques to improve function.
These include:

We work closely with ProRehab and other expert physical therapists throughout the tri-state.

We know incontinence can be debilitating and embarrassing. We want to return our patients to a normal lifestyle. We follow the practice outlines recommended by the American Society of Colorectal Surgeons. You will benefit by being treated by our knowledgeable staff and physicians in the comfort of our office. This will consist of a thorough evaluation including anal manometry and ultrasound to help determine the cause of incontinence and guide appropriate treatment. This may consist of simple medical management, or the latest technique called Sacral Nerve Stimulation therapy.
