Training and Comfort in the Management of Fecal Incontinence

The authors aimed to assess the training, comfort, and confidence levels of urogynecology fellows and attending physicians in managing fecal incontinence (FI). Through a survey of American Urogynecologic Society members, they found that while many clinicians encounter FI regularly, a significant number reported low comfort levels with diagnostic and procedural management, highlighting a need for improved training and education in this area. The study suggests that enhancing clinician comfort could lead to better patient outcomes and access to care.
