[Treatment of complicated forms of anal incontinence].
In recent years, several techniques for the treatment of more complex forms of faecal incontinence have emerged. These consist of either transposition of skeletal muscle (gracilis muscle or gluteus maximus muscle) around the anal canal, implantation of an artificial sphincter or implantation of a neuromuscular stimulator having previously transposed gracilis muscle. The latter method seems to hold most promise.
