TL;DR
The women in this study who still had evidence of nerve damage to the pelvic floor musculature 2 months after delivery may well become incontinent in later life; these women may increase this risk of incontinence by damage during further pregnancies.

It is suggested that idiopathic anorectal incontinence may be the result of denervation of the muscles of the anorak, and of the anal sphincter mechanism, which could result from entrapment or stretch injury of the pudendal or perineal nerves occurring as a consequence of rectal descent induced during repeated defaecation straining.

Investigations imply that denervation of the sphincter musculature can be recognized by electrophysiological tests in most patients with primary faecal incontinence and that the pathogenesis of rectal prolapse differed in the two groups of patients.

The results show that postanal repair effectively lengthens the anal canal and increases anal pressures in patients with a successful clinical outcome.

Of 89 patients followed up for at least six months after operation, 56 (63%) have complete control of faeces and flatus, but 19 have control of solidFaeces only and 14 are no better, associated with wound sepsis and previous operations particularly in men.
