Proctological diseases are extremely common and are often suppressed or concealed by the patients out of shame and unfortunately mostly neglected by the surgeons. This may have to do with the fact that the genesis of these clinical pictures can be completely different and can range from neurological disorders to embryonic maldevelopment to traumatically caused defects. Probably for this reason, in the past proctology was approached by different disciplines with inconsistent therapeutic approaches and non-standardized methods. However, interdisciplinarity is of utmost importance in this field of medicine. Only through a good interaction of the different disciplines in diagnostics and therapy can the best possible outcome be achieved for our patients. The highest good for the life of those affected and one of the most important factors in therapy is the preservation of continence.
