Abstract
Fecal incontinence is a socially incapacitating condition that generates high treatment costs. It can be treated with numerous therapies. The usual conservative treatments and operations are able to help a high rate of patients, but there are always problems that cannot be solved. Patients who have an absent or a nonfunctional anal sphincter could benefit from a dynamic graciloplasty. Dynamic graciloplasty means a musculus gracilis transposition,which is electrically stimulated.
