Baseline data, intra\u2010operative and postoperative complications, symptoms [using St Mark's incontinence score (SMIS)] and radiological outcomes were analysed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twenty\u2010seven patients [18 women, median age 57 years (range 27\u201387)] underwent SphinKeeper. In 30% of the patients, the firing device jammed and not all prostheses were delivered. There were no intra\u2010operative complications and all patients were discharged the same or the following day.

On postoperative imaging, a median of seven prostheses (range 0\u201310) were identified with a median of five (range 0\u201310) optimally placed. There was no relationship between number of well\u2010sited prostheses on postoperative imaging and categorical success based on 50% reduction in SMIS (<jats:italic>\u03c7<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> test, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.79).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>SphinKeeper appears to be a safe procedure for faecal incontinence. Overall, about 50% patients achieved a meaningful improvement in symptoms. However, clinical benefit was unrelated to the rate of misplaced\/migrated implants.
