Abstract
Fecal incontinence requires a multidisciplinary approach to identify the primary cause and identify the least invasive, most cost-effective, long-term solution to the problem. Anal physiology, radiology, physical therapy, gynecology, urology, gastroenterology, and colorectal surgery all contribute to optimal management of these patients.
