Fecobionics characterization of female patients with fecal incontinence.

ABSTRACT: Defecatory disorders including fecal incontinence (FI) are diagnosed on the symptom pattern supplemented by anorectal manometry (ARM), the balloon expulsion test (BET), and endo-anal ultrasonography. In this study, we used a simulated stool named Fecobionics to study distinct defecation patterns in FI patients using preload-afterload diagrams and to provide comparative data on defecation indices (DIs) between passive and urge incontinent patients. All subjects had Fecobionics, endo-anal ultrasonography and ARM-BET done. The Fecobionics bag was distended in rectum until urge in 37 female patients (64.1 ± 1.5 yrs) and a group of normal subjects (NS, 12F, age 64.8 ± 2.8 yrs). Rear-front pressure (preload-afterload) diagrams and DIs were compared between groups. The FISI score in the patients
