Diagnosis
• HISTORY
• EXAMINATION
• INVESTIGATION
![Page 3: Evaluating the patient with faecal incontinence M62 Course 2004 Mr E S Kiff](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649efa5503460f94c0d064/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
History

![Page 4: Evaluating the patient with faecal incontinence M62 Course 2004 Mr E S Kiff](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649efa5503460f94c0d064/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The specific questions
• Urgency

![Page 5: Evaluating the patient with faecal incontinence M62 Course 2004 Mr E S Kiff](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649efa5503460f94c0d064/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Urgency
• Diarrhoea
• Weak voluntary muscle
• Quantify – how long have you got
• - incontinent en route?
![Page 6: Evaluating the patient with faecal incontinence M62 Course 2004 Mr E S Kiff](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649efa5503460f94c0d064/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

• Formed – think irritability, sensory
![Page 8: Evaluating the patient with faecal incontinence M62 Course 2004 Mr E S Kiff](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649efa5503460f94c0d064/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Can you go?

Prolapse
Grape - mucosal, think eversion of anus
Tomato – full thickness rectal
Vaginal – rectum,bladder,uterus,small bowel
![Page 10: Evaluating the patient with faecal incontinence M62 Course 2004 Mr E S Kiff](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649efa5503460f94c0d064/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Difficulty wiping clean
• Prolapse
• Low anal tone
• Slow to regain tone
![Page 11: Evaluating the patient with faecal incontinence M62 Course 2004 Mr E S Kiff](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649efa5503460f94c0d064/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Leakage during the day
• Low resting tone
• Prolapse

Examination of the anus
• Position
• Gape
• Strain
• Length and angle

![Page 19: Evaluating the patient with faecal incontinence M62 Course 2004 Mr E S Kiff](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649efa5503460f94c0d064/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Investigations
• The colon
• Anorectal physiology
• Endoanal ultrasound
• Defecating proctography
• MR scan
![Page 20: Evaluating the patient with faecal incontinence M62 Course 2004 Mr E S Kiff](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649efa5503460f94c0d064/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Anorectal physiology
• Anal manometry• Vector-volume analysis• Rectal perception of distension• Proctometrogram• Recto-anal reflex• PNTML• EMG• Other tests
![Page 21: Evaluating the patient with faecal incontinence M62 Course 2004 Mr E S Kiff](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649efa5503460f94c0d064/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Endo-anal ultrasound
• Beware over reporting
• Tears found later in life = neuropathy
• Tears are not all or nothing
![Page 22: Evaluating the patient with faecal incontinence M62 Course 2004 Mr E S Kiff](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649efa5503460f94c0d064/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Summary
• Listen to the story
• Ask the questions
• Examine the bottom
• Do the tests
• Fit the jigsaw together
• Consider the alternatives for treatment
