title: [Conservative therapy of fecal incontinence].
abstract: Fecal incontinence is not diagnosis, but a symptom which can result from multiple causes. Therefore, therapy should attempt to treat the underlying disorder whenever possible. If this is not possible, therapy becomes symptom oriented. Besides drug treatment anal biofeedback training is the most important basis of medical therapy. Except for special situations surgery is indicated only if medical therapy has failed.
