Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Fecal incontinence (FI) is a common problem treated by many different interventions. No treatment is optimal. Based on its success for urinary incontinence, sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) has been used successfully outside the United States for FI. In direct comparison with standard medical treatment or the artificial bowel sphincter, SNS overall appeared superior. Currently, SNS is awaiting FDA approval in the United States.
