However, the FENIX prevents involuntary discharge toward the other end of the gastrointestinal tract. The device is implanted using a single incision. The size of the bracelet is decided using a provided tool. X-rays are used to confirm the appropriate size of the implant and to make sure the functionality of the system following the procedure. ![twitter](https://images.medindia.net/icons/news/social/twitter.png)

Fecal incontinence or bowel incontinence is a lack of control over defecation, leading to involuntary loss of bowel contents - including flatus (gas), liquid stool elements and mucus, or solid feces. Fecal incontinence is a sign or a symptom, not a diagnosis.
