Abstract

We read with much interest the recently published guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of faecal incontinence by Assmann et al., which was a collaboration of the UEG, ESCP, ESNM and ESPCG.1 We commend the authors for writing this much needed and overdue multidisciplinary guideline, with the last being published 15 years ago (NICE 2007). Based on a systematic literature search, 45 practice recommendations have been provided, together with a treatment algorithm to summarise them.
