Gas Incontinence Clinical Trial
Official title:
Gatekeeper™ Prostheses Implants for Patients With Gas Incontinence and Soiling
Faecal incontinence has a broad spectrum of symptoms. Some patients only suffer commonly considered mild symptoms: gas incontinence and soiling, but patients' quality of life is significantly impaired. Although several treatments for faecal incontinence are available, this subgroup of patients are difficult to treat, and no therapeutic alternative has been clearly defined. The aim of this study is to evaluate Gatekeeper™ treatment for this subgroup of patients with faecal incontinence, not studied before. Consecutive case series single-centre study. Patients with mainly soiling and/or gas incontinence were treated with polyacrylonitrile prostheses
