Secca therapy for bowel incontinence or BCD (bowel control disorder) is a minimally invasive and effective bridge between conservative therapy and surgery. Candidates for the Secca procedure experience incontinence at least once a week, have failed conservative therapies (fiber, medications, biofeedback), desire a less invasive treatment than surgery and implants, or are not optimal candidates for surgery. In this patient group, studies have demonstrated that up to 84% of patients experience a significant improvement in incontinence symptoms. Secca therapy involves delivery of radiofrequency energy to the muscles of the anal canal, which results in a change in tissue compliance and corresponding improvement in incontinence symptoms. This outpatient procedure takes approximately 60 minutes. Patients go home approximately 1-2 hours after the procedure and typically resume normal activities within several days.
