Fecal incontinence affects millions
of people yet few patients are willing to openly discuss
their problem. Even fewer physicians are knowledgeable
about the treatment of this social disabling disease.
At University Surgeons, we provide
a complete physiological assessment of patient suffering
from incontinence and tailor the treatment for each
individual. Many patients can be treated successfully
with diet, medications, and other conservative measures.
Surgery may be required for the severely
affected patients and in this regard we are skilled
and trained in sphincter reconstruction, implantation
of the artificial anal sphincter and new, state of
the art techniques.
The surgeons who specialize in the
treatment of fecal incontinence are:
Marc
I. Brand, M.D.
Theodore
J. Saclarides, M.D.
If you would like to be evaluated
for a fecal incontinence problem we will be happy
to see you. Call us at 312-942-6500 to make an appointment.
