Severe fecal incontinence is a very debilitating condition with a tremendous impact on an individual's life. In the past if a patient was not amenable to a tissue repair or failed a tissue repair, a colostomy was his or her only surgical option. New innovations have emerged giving patients more options to regain continence. The Acticon Neosphincter, which is an artificial bowel sphincter, is one of those newer options. The device is reserved for patients with severe fecal incontinence that is not amenable to lesser forms of therapy. Because it is an artificial device, the risk of infection is of particular concern. With experience, however, the infection rate has declined and the artificial bowel sphincter has become a good option for patients with severe fecal incontinence. The results are quite impressive with a significant number of patients obtaining complete continence.
严重大便失禁是一种极为使人衰弱的病症，对个人生活有着巨大影响。过去，如果患者不适合进行组织修复或组织修复失败，结肠造口术是其唯一的手术选择。新的创新方法出现后，为患者提供了更多恢复控便能力的选择。Acticon新型人造括约肌便是这些新选择之一。该装置适用于那些无法通过其他较轻治疗方式治愈的严重大便失禁患者。由于它是一种人造装置，感染风险尤其值得关注。然而，随着经验的积累，感染率有所下降，人造括约肌已成为严重大便失禁患者的一个不错选择。其效果相当显著，大量患者实现了完全控便。
