文摘

Purpose Sacral nerve stimulation has proven to be a promising treatment for fecal incontinence when conventional treatment modalities have failed. There have been several hypotheses concerning the mode of action of sacral nerve stimulation, but the mechanism is still unclear. This study was designed to evaluate the results of rectal volume tolerability, rectal pressure-volume curves, and anal pressures before and six months after permanent sacral nerve stimulation and to investigate the mode of action of sacral nerve stimulation.
