- The study assessed the use of anal plugs and retrograde colonic irrigation (RCI) in treating fecal incontinence and constipation from 1980 to 2005.
- About 50% of the 201 patients responded; a majority found RCI more effective and were satisfied, with younger adults showing higher satisfaction rates.
- The results indicate that RCI is preferred over anal plugs, particularly among younger patients, while anal plugs can be used occasionally, especially for children.
