קוצב לטיפול בדליפת צואה - ד"ר רון גרינברג

Dr. Ron Greenberg, a senior physician in the surgical division of the colorectal surgery unit at Ichilov Hospital, explains fecal leakage and lack of sphincter control – a more common phenomenon than is commonly thought, which may significantly impair the quality of life, daily functioning, and social and mental state of patients. In the interview, he describes how the problem manifests clinically, what the risk factors and populations are at increased risk, and why the phenomenon is not limited to older age and can also appear in young people. In addition, he reviews the variety of treatment options available, from dietary changes, pelvic floor physiotherapy and other conservative treatments, to treatment with a pacemaker in appropriate cases, which may help improve sphincter control and return to a normal lifestyle.
