Tibial nerve stimulation (TNS) therapy is widely used to treat fecal incontinence (FI), but still, some controversy exists. This study aimed to determine whether TNS could improve FI from different evaluation angles. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to provide indirect evidence ...
treated patients with functional bowel disorders with SNS, and this therapy was later proved to be also effective for fecal incontinence (FI) secondary to various functional or morphological causes, including large sphincter lesions (up to 180掳). SNS delivers mild, non-painful, electrical pulses ...

PURPOSE: Sacral nerve stimulation has traditionally been used to treat patients with fecal incontinence with intact anal sphincters. This rationale has been challenged, but it remains unknown if its efficacy is related to the extent of the sphincter injury. METHODS: This was a prospective study of...
It cost £1038 more per year to treat patients with SNS for a median reduction of 286 incontinence episodes, equating to £3·63 per episode reduced. When indirect non-medical costs were included the ICER was reduced to £12 959 per QALY gained.The ICER of £25 070 is within the...

The effects of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation for fecal incontinence have been contradictory.39,40 For overactive bladder, there have been reports of efficacy of posterior tibial nerve stimulation in controlling this bothersome condition.41,42 The transcutaneous electrodes are placed cephalad to ...

BACKGROUND: Sacral nerve stimulation has been shown to be an effective treatment for fecal incontinence and early studies reported success rates of 67% to 100%. However, "success" has been arbitrarily set at a 50% reduction in symptoms, and data are rarely reported with "intention to treat....
