Implantable Agents for Fecal Incontinence: An Age-Matched Retrospective Cohort Analysis of GateKeeper versus SphinKeeper.

Conclusions. GK and SK are safe and effective treatments for FI with good short-term clinical outcomes. Comparative analysis showed superiority of SK over GK in terms of gain in Tm, with borderline significantly better improvement in symptoms. Larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.
