This workshop will provide a comprehensive overview of current approaches for managing fecal incontinence (FI) from bench to bedside. It will explain progress in developing cutting-edge cell-based therapies for FI and provide the latest evidence about behavioral and conservative management strategies as well as surgical modalities. The session will focus on adults and incorporate findings and recommendations of the ICI6-ICS consultation.
Learning Objectives - At the end of the session, the participant will be able to:
1. Examine the different types of behavioral therapies and conservative and self management strategies for fecal incontinence (including devices such as an anal plug, anal insert, and vaginal bowel device). Review their evidence, strengths, and limitations, and impact of managing FI on daily life.
2. Discuss the indications and efficacy of surgical procedures in treating fecal incontinence, including sphincter repair, sacral neuromodulation, sphincter replacement and implantable sphincter enhancement device-good with this.
3. Discuss advances in cell based therapies for fecal incontinence and consequences of their use.
