Stuhlinkontinenz – Update
Publication History
Publication Date:
21 March 2011 (online)
Kernaussagen
Pathophysiologie und Diagnostik
-
Eingeschränkte Reservoirfunktion, Defekte der Sphinkterfunktion, nervale Störungen, Stuhlimpaktion im Rektum bei verminderter Rektumsensibilität und der Rektumprolaps sind die häufigsten Ursachen der Stuhlinkontinenz.
-
Die Stuhlinkontinenz ist somit kein einheitliches Krankheitsbild. Ohne detaillierte Anamnese, proktologische Untersuchung und evtl. gezielte technische Untersuchungen lässt sich daher kein Therapievorschlag machen.
Therapie
-
Kontrollierte Therapiestudien sind rar, insbesondere solche, die sich auf pathophysiologische Subgruppen beziehen.
-
Die globale Besserungsrate über Monate beträgt 60 – 80 %, unabhängig vom eingesetzten Therapieverfahren. Wahrscheinlich stellt die detaillierte Diagnostik mit den dabei gegebenen Erklärungen eine Art Sensibilitätstraining dar.
-
Für Sphinktertraining und Biofeedback-Verfahren fehlen überzeugende Wirksamkeitsnachweise. Insbesondere von aufwendigen Verfahren wird daher abgeraten.
-
Chirurgische Maßnahmen sollten nicht erwogen werden, ohne dass zuvor ein konservativer Versuch gemacht wurde, mit Loperamid die Stuhlkonsistenz zu erhöhen und die anorektale Physiologie zu beeinflussen.
