Surgical Sphincteroplasty Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

Surgical Sphincteroplasty Market Analysis

The Surgical Sphincteroplasty Market size is estimated at USD 1.7 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 2.43 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.32% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The surgical sphincteroplasty market is driven by factors such as an increase in cases of anal incontinence and a rise in clinical studies associated with surgical sphincteroplasty, coupled with the increased adoption of surgical sphincteroplasty procedures due to their benefits. Furthermore, fecal incontinence is highly prevalent in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients treated with biologics, even those who have reached endoscopic remission. A rise in ulcerative colitis cases is likely to lead to surgical sphincteroplasty. For instance, according to the June 2023 article update by the National Library of Medicine, ulcerative colitis sees an annual incidence of 9 to 20 cases per 100,000 individuals globally, with a prevalence ranging from 156 to 291 cases per 100,000. While ulcerative colitis is more common in adults than Crohn's disease, the reverse is true in the pediatric population.

Moreover, an increase in the advantages and benefits offered by surgical sphincteroplasty procedures is expected to augment market growth over the forecast period. For instance, according to an article published in July 2023 in the Updates in Surgery Journal, researchers demonstrated that following surgical sphincteroplasty, short-term follow-ups consistently showed improved fecal incontinence and a notable boost in quality of life (QoL). Moreover, several clinical guidelines have underscored the significant role of surgical sphincteroplasty in managing fecal incontinence. For instance, in February 2023, the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS) released updated guidelines on the evaluation and management of fecal incontinence. These guidelines recommended that patients with a defect in the external anal sphincter may be considered for anal sphincteroplasty. Further, sphincter repair (sphincteroplasty) is advised to be performed when there is a symptomatic disease and a clearly defined defect in the external anal sphincter. Generally, it is recommended to refrain from repeating anal sphincter reconstruction after an unsuccessful overlapping sphincteroplasty unless other treatment options are either not viable or have proven ineffective. Thus, owing to the increase in positive results obtained after surgical sphincteroplasty and such notable clinical guidelines, the demand in the market studied is expected to rise, thereby contributing to market growth.

Thus, the high prevalence of fecal incontinence complications and the rise in advantages and success rates of surgical sphincteroplasty procedures are expected to bolster market growth. However, the high costs associated with the procedure are likely to hinder market growth over the forecast period.

Surgical Sphincteroplasty Industry Segmentation

As per the scope of the report, surgical sphincteroplasty is a procedure used to repair torn or weakened anal sphincter muscles, the muscles that control bowel movements. Damage to these muscles is a major cause of fecal incontinence, which refers to the loss of normal bowel control.

The surgical sphincteroplasty market is segmented by type and geography. By type, the market is segmented into direct apposition sphincteroplasty and overlapping sphincteroplasty. By geography, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, and South America.
