Quick, Painless, Long-Lasting.
Is Solesta Right for You?

Solesta is a quick and painless outpatient procedure that significantly reduces fecal incontinence for up to 36 months. Solesta is applied in-office and requires no anesthesia because there are no nerves in the application area.

Solesta can be applied to patients over 18 years old. This leading bowel incontinence product is best for patients who have already tried other measures, such as diet changes, antimotility medications, and physical therapy, and see no improvement of their fecal incontinence.

Who Is Solesta NOT For?

Solesta is safe and effective for most patients. However, patients experiencing the following conditions are not candidates to go through this procedure.

    • Active inflammatory bowel disease
      Immunodeficiency disorders (or immunosuppressive therapy)
      Significant mucosal or full thickness rectal prolapse,
      Active anorectal conditions (abscesses, fissures, sepsis, bleeding, proctitis, or other infections)
      Anorectal atresia
      Tumors
      Stenosis, malformation, rectocele, or rectal varices

    • Likewise, patients who have previously undergone radiation treatment to the pelvic area, currently have an implant other than Solesta, or are allergic to hyaluronic acid-based products are not candidates for this procedure.

    How to Prep for Solesta

    Solesta is a minimally invasive procedure that requires little prep work. Typically, patients receive prophylactic antibiotics and are instructed to perform a Fleet enema two hours before the treatment starts.

    The actual process of applying Solesta lasts about 10 minutes. It involves an anoscope, or small scope used to allow the doctor to see the lining of the rectum, and four injections near the patient’s dentate line, just inside the anus, to deposit the biocompatible beads into the patient’s submucosal layer. These microspheres provide a stable bulking effect over time.

    After the procedure, most patients can resume limited physical activity immediately and return to their normal activities within one week.

    A follow-up visit is scheduled four weeks later to determine if a second round of Solesta is necessary. Most patients require a second round of Solesta after the first month.

    80% of patients did not require further intervention beyond two rounds of Solesta within a 36-month period (Quiroz, 2023).
