Fecal Incontinence - Evaluation & Treatment

Colorectal Surgery Review ·

2025/09/10

Key topics covered in the episode include:Definition and Physiology: Fecal incontinence is defined as the uncontrolled passage of stool or gas for at least one month in a person who had previously achieved continence. Continence relies on a complex interplay of five factors: stool consistency, anal sphincter function, rectal compliance (the rectum's ability to store stool), neurologic function, and pelvic floor coordination.Evaluation: A thorough evaluation begins with a detailed patient history

The Physiology of the Anus & Rectum

Colorectal Surgery Review ·

2025/09/04

This episode reviews the physiology of the anorectum, focusing on the mechanisms of continence and defecation. We cover the anatomy and function of the internal and external anal sphincters, the puborectalis muscle, and the rectoanal inhibitory reflex. Sensory pathways, autonomic and somatic innervation, and the role of the pelvic floor are explained in detail, along with the coordination required for continence and evacuation. Clinical correlations include constipation, fecal incontinence, and

Colonic Physiology

Colorectal Surgery Review ·

2025/09/03

In this episode, we explore the physiology of the colon — a vital but often misunderstood organ. Beginning with embryology, we review how the colon and rectum develop from the primitive gut, including the rotations of the midgut and the complex differentiation of the cloaca. These processes explain congenital anomalies such as malrotation, Hirschsprung’s disease, and anorectal malformations.We then move to anatomy and function. The colonic wall contains four distinct layers — mucosa, submucosa,

Anatomy & Embryology of the Colon, Rectum & Anus

Colorectal Surgery Review ·

2025/09/03

We begin with the anal canal and pelvic floor. In colorectal surgery, it’s important to distinguish between the anatomic anal canal and the surgical anal canal. Continence depends on a coordinated set of muscles: the internal and external anal sphincters, and the puborectalis. The canal is lined by different epithelial types, with the dentate line as the critical landmark. That line separates endoderm from ectoderm, and it also marks a division in nerve supply, blood supply, and lymphatic
