Description
Summary:This open access book describes the latest advances in the diagnosis and treatment of anal incontinence. Anal incontinence is a devastating condition that heavily impacts on the patients' lives. Those suffering from this disorder are generally highly embarrassed and reluctant to undergo appropriate clinical evaluation, thus becoming more isolated and worsening their quality of life. Fortunately, a wide range of treatments are now available to improve this distressing condition; however, recognition of the related pathophysiological alterations is mandatory to ensure its successful management. This volume will help the surgical community to keep abreast of developments in the diagnostics and treatment of anal incontinence, while providing all health professionals with the appropriate tools needed to manage patients with this disabling condition.
