Training and Comfort in the Management of Fecal Incontinence

Key Points

To assess the impact of training on clinician comfort in managing fecal incontinence (FI).
Evaluated clinical and didactic exposure in urogynecology training.
Identified gaps in procedural experience and comfort levels.
Proposed standardized fellowship education and interdisciplinary training programs.
Clinicians show persistent discomfort when managing FI despite frequent encounters.
Enhanced training is suggested to improve clinician confidence.
Standardized education may lead to better patient care outcomes.

Abstract

Clinical and didactic exposure to FI varies widely across urogynecology training and practice. Despite frequent encounters, limited procedural experience contributes to persistent discomfort with FI management. Standardizing fellowship education and expanding interdisciplinary, longitudinal training may improve clinician confidence and patient care.
