Ответы проанализированы и представлены в виде сводных гистограмм.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты: Всего было заполнено 134 (17,4%) анкеты из 770 разосланных с сентября по ноябрь 2020г. По данным анкеты родовая деятельность была самой частой причиной АИ (74,4%). Средний возраст пациенток составил 20-40 лет, в 37% средний возраст превышал 40 лет, в 8% – старше 60 лет. Самыми распространенными жалобами были недержание газов и кала (70%) и снижение качества жизни (72%). В 28% случаев также диагностировались ректо-вагинальные свищи. Факторами выбора лечебной тактики были размер дефекта сфинктерного комплекса, возраст пациентки и данные аноректальной манометрии. Всего 8,8% врачей направляют пациенток на сакральную нейростимуляцию при неэффективности других методов. До 16,7% пациентам с послеродовой АИ предлагаются стомирующие процедуры как окончательный метод лечения.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение: Наше исследование представляет первый в России крупный опрос практикующих проктологов и хирургов, оценивающий проблемы оказания медицинской помощи пациенткам с послеродовой АИ. Результаты свидетельствует о недостаточном внимании к этой проблеме, что требует информационно-образовательных и организационных решений. В частности, одним из решений может быть создание региональных или федеральных центров в тесном контакте акушерской и хирургической служб для оказания медицинской помощи этой группе населения, что по нашему мнению поможет значительно улучшить качество лечения женщин с послеродовой АИ.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Aim</title><p>Aim: To evaluate the medical care quality provided to patients with fecal incontinence in practice; to investigate the patient care effectiveness; to identify the problems the patient and the doctor are faced during the postpartum anal incontinence (AI) treatment.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p>Methods: A questionnaire for surgeons was created using Google forms. It includes 22 questions about medical characteristics of patients with AI, used diagnostic methods, and treatment results. The answers were analyzed and presented as histograms.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results: Totally 134 (17.4%) questionnaires were completed from September to November 2020. Labor was the most common AI cause (74.4%). The median age was 20-40 years, 37% of patients was &gt;40 years, 8% – &gt;60 years. The most common complaints were incontinence (70%) and decreased life quality (72%). Rectovaginal fistulas were diagnosed in 28% of cases. The sphincter complex lesion size, age and anorectal manometry results determined the treatment strategy. Only 8.8% of surgeons suggested sacral neurostimulation in case of the other methods inefficiency. Up to 16.7% of patients were offered to create stoma as the final treatment method.</p></sec><sec><title>Discussion</title><p>Discussion: Our study is the first major survey for proctologists and surgeons in Russia, assessing the medical care of patients with postpartum AI. The results indicate insufficient attention to this problem; it requires educational and organizational solutions. Regional or federal centers where obstetrician and surgeons can work cooperatively could be extremely helpful to provide appropriate medical care to these patients and to improve the treatment quality for women with postpartum AI.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>недержание кала</kwd><kwd>анальная инконтиненция</kwd><kwd>послеродовое недержание</kwd><kwd>медицинская помощь</kwd><kwd>качество жизни</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>fecal incontinence</kwd><kwd>anal incontinence</kwd><kwd>postpartum incontinence</kwd><kwd>medical care</kwd><kwd>quality of life</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">F.
