Sacral Nerve Stimulation
Discover relief from fecal incontinence and overactive bladder conditions with sacral nerve stimulation. This advanced treatment option improves communications between the brain and bowels/bladder using tiny electrical impulses. Sacral nerve stimulation involves implanting a small device in the upper buttocks region. By modulating the connection between the brain and the sacral nerve, stimulation can effectively control symptoms such as urgency, frequency, and leakage without needing medication or more invasive surgery.
When is Sacral Nerve Stimulation an Option?
Sacral nerve stimulation is a treatment option commonly recommended to patients who suffer from fecal incontinence or overactive bladder. Candidates for this therapy are typically patients who tried two or more conservative treatments that failed to provide relief for their symptoms.
The following conditions may benefit from sacral nerve stimulation:
- Urinary incontinence
- Urinary retention
- Fecal incontinence
- Chronic constipation
- Overactive bladder
Sacral Nerve Stimulation Procedure and Recovery
Previous to sacral nerve stimulation surgery, patients will undergo a trial process to ensure this therapy provides significant improvement in their symptoms. During the time of surgical implantation, the surgeon will make a small incision and then implant the device in the upper buttock. The procedure typically takes less than an hour and patients can return home on the same day.
The Cost of Sacral Nerve Stimulation
The cost of sacral nerve stimulation varies depending on the patient’s insurance coverage. BEST Health System works with Medicare, most private health insurances, workers’ compensation, and personal injury cases.
