Bowel/fecal incontinence refers to a patient’s inability to control bowel movements, which results in involuntary loss of solid or liquid stool. It is caused due to diarrhea, constipation, weaker muscle tone (that controls the opening of the anus), and chronic medical conditions (such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and nerve damage). The clinical devices used to manage bowel activity are called bowel management systems.

Restraint: Patient preference for non-invasive clinical management of FI
Currently, FI can be managed invasively (surgically) or non-invasively. Standard modes of surgical treatment include the injection of biomaterials into the anal canal, radiofrequency treatment of the anal canal, surgical repair of anal muscle injuries, sacral nerve stimulation, artificial bowel sphincter, muscle transposition to reinforce the anal sphincter, and the creation of a stoma. These often require long-term patient rehabilitation and maybe highly inconvenient and even severely painful.
