VORRICHTUNG ZUR BEHANDLUNG VON ANALER INKONTINENZ

摘要

An anal incontinence treatment apparatus comprises an adjustable restriction (434) device implanted in a patient, who suffers from anal incontinence, and engaging a portion of the colon or rectum (435) of the patient to restrict the faecal passageway therein. An adjustment device (436) mechanically adjusts the restriction device to restrict or release the faecal passageway, i.e. to normally close the faecal passageway and open the faecal passageway when the patient wants to relieve himself or herself.
