6. Conclusions

Anorectal biofeedback is a useful method to reeducate the defecation and which is applied in incontinence and terminal constipation. Anorectal biofeedback has positive results in functional anal incontinence and moderate results in terminal chronic constipation. Motivation and high degree of education are factors positively influencing the outcome of anorectal biofeedback. Among failure factors, we should consider the difficulty of some patients to travel long distance to the biofeedback laboratory and unpleasant repeated manipulation of the catheters in the anal canal.
