AIM Chronic constipation is difficult to treat when symptoms are intractable. Colonic propulsion may be altered by distal neuromodulation but this is conventionally delivered percutaneously. Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation is noninvasive and

Objective Pudendal nerve stimulation (PNS) aims to maximize afferent or efferent stimulation from the sacral plexus. Background We hypothesized this may be a promising new treatment for patients with bowel dysfunction in complete cauda equina syndrom

Aim Although effective in faecal incontinence (FI), sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) is expensive and requires two procedures. It carries a small risk of infection and electrode migration. Transcutaneous SNS is noninvasive and cheap. Two small studies

Aim This review aimed to assess the published results of posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) for faecal incontinence. Method A search was performed of PubMed, MEDLINE and Embase to identify studies describing the clinical outcome of PTNS for fa

Background Percutaneous, transcutaneous and sham transcutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation was compared in a prospective blinded randomized placebo-controlled trial. Methods Patients who had failed conservative treatment for faecal incontinen

Background For over 10 years sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) has been used for patients with constipation resistant to conservative treatment. A review of the literature is presented. Methods PubMed, MEDLINE and Embase databases were searched for stud

Aim Increasing life expectancy will increase the number of elderly patients with faecal incontinence. The study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) in patients over the age of 65 years. Method Patients aged over

Aim Pudendal nerve stimulation (PNS), which is an alternative to sacral nerve stimulation, requires neurophysiological confirmation of correct siting of the electrode. We describe a modification of the existing technique where placement is assisted b

Aim Faecal incontinence is estimated to affect between 2 and 3% of Western adult populations. In recent years sacral nerve stimulation has become an important treatment modality, often as the first-line surgical therapy. The aim of this article was t

Aim A knowledge of the principles of neurostimulation is essential to achieve optimal efficacy and minimize adverse effects. The aim of this article was to review the current evidence regarding device programming in the management of patients having
