Popis: Sacral neuromodulation has become an essential technique in the treatment of fecal incontinence. The surgically implanted system consists of a neurostimulator and the electrical lead that is implanted in the S3 foramen. The technique for placement of the lead is, without a doubt, the single most important step that will determine the level of success of the therapy. Attention to detail and, at times, patience will be most important to achieve the best results.
