Rectal Prolapse Specialist in Cypress and The Woodlands, TX

Fecal incontinence is the inability to control one’s bowel movement. It ranges from minor leakage of stool to uncontrollable stool accidents. Though it is not life-threatening, it does negatively impact one’s quality of life. Successful management of this requires a thorough evaluation, identification of the possible cause, and instituting a treatment approach tailored to the individual. In addition to medical management, surgical treatment options include anal sphincter repair and sacral nerve stimulation.

Sacral nerve stimulation is a minimally invasive approach used in the treatment of fecal incontinence in select patients. It has been found to be very effective and is associated with a quick recovery.

Rectal prolapse is a condition in which part of the rectum slips out of the anus. It may lead to defecatory problems such as fecal incontinence.

Treatment usually involves surgery. Some procedures are performed via the abdomen and others via the anus.
