Hello I’m Dr Snehith , general surgeon , answer to your question Yes surgery might do cause incontinence but it’s rare 5 in 100 people have that complication and it is not only related to surgery but ther are additional factors also for that

No. If correcty performed, fissue in ano surgery should not cause incontinance. 1. Temporary / Short-Term (Common & Normal)During the initial 4 to 8 weeks after surgery, while the muscle and tissue heal, 3% to 5% of patients may experience mild, temporary leakage.This usually presents as slight difficulty controlling gas (flatus) or minor liquid soiling.For the vast majority of patients, this resolves completely as muscle function stabilizes. 2. Long-Term / Permanent Incontinence (Rare)Long-term or severe fecal incontinence occurs in less than 1% to 3% of cases.Surgeons tailor the procedure (performing a conservative or partial sphincterotomy) to cut only as much muscle as strictly necessary to release the spasm while protecting your baseline muscle tone.
