Pilot Study of an Adult Bowel Management Program for Fecal Incontinence

Retrospective study of 38 adult patients (median age 19) who completed a bowel management program for fecal incontinence or constipation, primarily those with anorectal malformations. Stool continence rates improved significantly from 52.7% to 87.6% post-program, demonstrating efficacy of pediatric bowel management protocols adapted for adult populations.
