Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) has been used to treat urinary dysfunction by Tanagho EA and Schmidt RA since 1988. In 1995, Matzel et al. treated patients with functional bowel disorders with SNS, and this therapy was later proved to be also effective for fecal incontinence (FI) secondary ...
Sacral nerve stimulation is an innovative, mininvasive approach to fecal incontinence and other pelvic floor dysfunctions based on the delivery of electrical stimuli to the pelvic nerves through an electrode percutaneously positioned through the sacral foramen (usually S3) and connected to an implantable...
What you need to know about sacral nerve stimulation:Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) is treatment for urinary retention without blockage, overactive bladder symptoms, and fecal incontinence. Overactive bladder symptoms include urinary urge incontinence and urinary frequency. Electrical impulses are sent ...

BACKGROUND: To assess whether sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) is an effective treatment for severe fecal incontinence (FI) after radiotherapy (RT)/chemoRT (CRT) in combination with pelvic surgery. METHODS: A multicenter study was conducted on patients with FI that developed after multimodal therapy...
As in the male, shared neural pathways influence urinary and sexual function, with afferent (pudendal) nerve stimulation being transmitted to the central nervous system, triggering reflex parasympathetic motor responses. These reflex arcs are modulated by SNM, possibly correcting imbalances between ...

Dear Sir, Oncologic resection of rectal cancer has been reported to be associated with a significant rate of fecal incontinence (FI). The risk is greater in patients with a resection less than 6–8cm from the anal verge [ 1 ]. Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) has been advocated as a safe...
