Secca Therapy is an innovative treatment option for patients suffering from FI. Secca does not utilize implants, incisions or stitches and takes approximately 60 minutes. Secca is performed in a day case setting. Secca is for patients who have failed to respond to first line therapies, who are not surgical candidates, or do not want to undergo invasive surgery or a foreign body implantation.
