ABSTRACT

Fecal incontinence (FI) is associated with low self-esteem and quality of life. Nowadays, multimodal pelviperineal rehabilitation (MPPR) has become the preferred treatment. Purpose: To evaluate our results of multimodal pelviperineal rehabilitation (MPPR) in patients diagnosed with fecal incontinence (FI). Methods: Historic cohort study using a prospectively maintained database from patients with FI that underwent MPPR between years 1999 and 2012. FI was classified according to Jorge-Wexner´s scale, at the beginning (Winitial) and the end (Wfinal) of treatment. In July 2013 a survey was carried out to measure follow-up Wexner score (Wfollow-up) and pelvic muscle training. Statystical analysis was performed using Chi square test, Fisher Test, Mann-Whitney and Odds Ratio. Significant p value < 0.05. Results: One hundred and thirteen patients completed treatment, median age 67 years-old (r: 24-91) and 83 percent female. Median scores for Winitial and Wfinal were 9 points (r: 3-19) and 3 points (r: 0-13), respectively (p < 0.001). In July 2013, 68 (61 percent) patients were available for follow-up. Wexner score at the beginning, end and follow-up were as follows: 9 (i: 3-19), 3 (i:0-12) and 4 (i:0-19), respectively. There were significant differences between Winitial and Wfollow-up (p < 0.001), but not between Wfinal and Wfollow-up (p = 0.23). There were 20 patients (29 percent) who kept training their pelvic muscles and 48 (71 percent) who did it very rarely or did not do it at all. It was the latter group who showed an increased risk to obtain worst score in Wfollow-up (OR = 3.89; CI 95 percent: 1.26-11.9; p = 0.0175). Conclusion: FI patients treated with MPPR show good short and long-term results.


Introducción: La incontinencia fecal (IF) se asocia a menor calidad de vida en quienes la sufren. Actualmente, la rehabilitación pelviperineal multimodal (RPPM) es el tratamiento inicial de elección. Objetivo: Evaluar los resultados de la RPPM en pacientes con IF. Método: Estudio de cohorte histórica de pacientes con IF que recibieron RPPM entre 1999-2012. Se utilizó la escala de Jorge-Wexner para medir laIF, al inicio (Wi) y fin (Wf) del tratamiento. Se aplicó una encuesta en julio de 2013 para medir el Wexner de seguimiento (Ws) y mantención de ejercicios terapéuticos. Análisis estadístico: prueba de c2, prueba exacta de Fisher, Mann-Whitney y Odds Ratio. Significancia estadística p < 0,05. Resultados: Hubo 113 pacientes que completaron el tratamiento. La mediana de edad fue 67 años (i: 24-91) y 83 porciento género femenino. La mediana de Wi fue de 9 puntos (i: 3-19) y la mediana de Wf fue de 3 puntos (i: 0-13) (p < 0,001). Se logró contactar a 68 pacientes para el seguimiento, en ellos la mediana del puntaje de Wi, Wf y Wsfue de 9 (i: 3-19), 3 (i:0-12) y 4 (i:0-19), respectivamente. Hubo diferencia significativa entre Wi y Ws (p < 0,001), pero no entre Wf y Ws (p = 0,23). Veinte pacientes (29 por ciento) realizaron ejercicios terapéuticos regularmente y 48 (71 por ciento) nunca o raramente; este último grupo es factor de riesgo para obtener peores resultados (OR = 3,89; CI 95 porciento: 1,26-11,9; p = 0,0175). Conclusión: El tratamiento con RPPM en pacientes con IF tiene buenos resultados a corto y largo plazo.
