Anal Incontinence – Sphincteroplasty by Dr. Atef J. Baakza
Understanding Anal Incontinence
Anal incontinence, also known as fecal incontinence, is the involuntary loss of stool or gas, leading to embarrassment and social discomfort. It occurs when the anal sphincter muscles or nerves are weakened or damaged, often due to childbirth injury, surgery, trauma, or age-related changes.
Patients with anal incontinence may experience:
Difficulty controlling bowel movements
Staining or soiling of undergarments
Loss of confidence and social withdrawal
What is Sphincteroplasty?
Sphincteroplasty is a specialized surgical procedure that repairs and strengthens the damaged anal sphincter muscles to restore normal control over bowel movements. It aims to rebuild muscle continuity and improve the function of the anal sphincter, significantly enhancing the patient’s quality of life.
Procedure Overview
Under the expert care of Dr. Atef J. Baakza, a leading colorectal surgeon, sphincteroplasty is performed with precision and a focus on functional recovery.
The damaged ends of the sphincter muscle are identified and carefully overlapped (overlapping sphincter repair) to restore muscle strength.
The repair is done with fine sutures to ensure optimal healing and functionality.
The procedure is usually performed under regional or general anesthesia.
Most patients notice significant improvement in bowel control and confidence after recovery.
