Updates in Surgery

The aim of this series is to provide informative updates on hot topics in the areas of
breast, endocrine, and abdominal surgery, surgical oncology, and coloproctology,
and on new surgical techniques such as robotic surgery, laparoscopy, and minimally
invasive surgery. Readers will nd detailed guidance on patient selection,
performance of surgical procedures, and avoidance of complications. In addition, a
range of other important aspects are covered, from the role of new imaging tools to
the use of combined treatments and postoperative care.
The topics addressed by volumes in the series Updates in Surgery have been
selected for their broad signicance in collaboration with the Italian Society of
Surgery. Each volume will assist surgical residents and fellows and practicing
surgeons in reaching appropriate treatment decisions and achieving optimal
outcomes. The series will also be highly relevant for surgical researchers.

Foreword
Fecal incontinence is still today an important and underestimated disability that
affects a portion of the general population and is caused by many different conditions, including also iatrogenic conditions. The topic is of major interest for surgeons and many different medical specialists because this disease requires a
multidisciplinary approach and an integration of competences.
This volume examines in depth all the pathophysiological aspects of fecal incontinence and the role of surgeons in preventing and treating this complex disease. The
authors are very accurate in clarifying to the reader some nebulous aspects of fecal
incontinence, leaving open, at the same time, some still important questions. All the
recent advancements in the diagnostic owchart, ne differential etiopathogenetic
diagnosis, and tailored choice of therapeutic strategies are, in the present book, well
presented with remarkable illustrations.
All aspects such as treatments, rehabilitation, dietary regimen, social costs, and
even DRG-related issues are very clearly and cleverly addressed, giving this book
the value of an exhaustive guide and very up-to-date reference. For all the abovementioned reasons, I’d like to express my gratitude to Professors Ludovico Docimo
and Luigi Brusciano and to all the authors involved in this work for having successfully completed such a marvelous scientic endeavor, upholding, once again, the
great tradition of Italian Society of Surgery.

Preface
Although benign, anal incontinence is a highly invalidating condition causing an
important impairment to the patients’ quality of life. Its related social stigma concurs in the underestimation of its prevalence. Nowadays, a high number of patients
still tend to avoid seeking medical care or even talking about the condition, which is
why it is reasonably thought to be more common than known.
Stool consistency, the efciency of the rectum as a reservoir, the sphincter structures, and the innervation of the anatomic area of the perineum are all involved in
the continence process. This book describes the multiple aspects of continence
ranging from anatomical details to recent pathophysiological ndings and nutritional proles. A spotlight has been turned on the innovative and technologic diagnostic tools such as the 3D reconstruction of the whole sphincteric complex using
endoanal ultrasound or the detailed evaluation of sphincter tone utilizing high-resolution manometry. Also addressed are the surgical procedures, from the most common ones performed in every operating room to the more complex approaches
reserved for highly specialized centers and not neglecting the latest surgical options,
such as sphincteroplasty by crossing puborectalis aps.
The several nutritional and rehabilitation proles are also discussed in detail. The
complex interplay of the perineum itself with the diaphragm, the vertebral column,
and the abdominal wall leads to a delicate equilibrium of what has been congured
as the “imaginary cuboid”, whose functional integrity is of utmost importance in the
continence process. This partially explains why assessment of the integrity of the
sphincter structures is not in itself enough to guarantee an appropriate diagnostic
approach to anal incontinence.
A number of physicians with different expertise and specialties have given their
contribution to the topic, providing a comprehensive expert discussion of anal
incontinence that spans from its pathophysiology to the most innovative views on
the diagnostic approach, including the need to analyze physiatric parameters as an
estimate of the wellness of the “imaginary cuboid”. The older and more traditional
treatments are here tightly interwoven with the most recent therapeutic approaches,

with attention also being paid to the functional treatment of pelvic oor rehabilitation. Objective data supporting the outcomes are also presented so the reader is
provided with a clear and concise review of the literature on the subject.
