Sphincteroplasty

Sphincteroplasty is a surgical procedure designed to repair or strengthen a weakened or damaged sphincter muscle, which acts as a valve to control the release of waste, such as in cases of fecal incontinence. During the procedure, the surgeon stitches the torn or stretched muscle to restore its function, helping improve control over bowel movements. This operation can significantly enhance quality of life by reducing accidental leakage. It is typically performed when conservative treatments haven't successfully managed symptoms, and it aims to restore normal muscle function and continence.
