ABSTRACT
A review of the current national and foreign literature is devoted to epidemiology, risk factors, causes, diagnosis and modern treatment approaches for fecal incontinence (FI). Incidence of FI in early and delayed period after childbirth is 30% or more. At the same time, up to 87% of postpartum injuries of anal sphincter remain undiagnosed. Importantly, routine caesarean section does not reduce the risk of incontinence. In addition to typical complaints of spontaneous gas and stool, diagnosis of FI after childbirth includes transrectal ultrasound, MRI, anorectal manometry and pudendal nerve terminal motor latency testing. Survey of proctologists from different regions of Russia revealed a high demand from medical community for educational programs devoted to diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of patients with postpartum perineal injuries.
