Abstract

SNM can be considered as an effective therapeutic approach to treat patients suffering from FI associated with some kind of neuropathy as the primary or secondary cause. A large number of reports demonstrate the effectiveness of this therapy in improving the FI and patients’ quality of life. In all series, episodes of FI are reported to be significantly decreased and FI scores are improved. Urgency is frequently reduced, and altered rectal sensations, compared with those reported by patients preoperatively, are significantly ameliorated in most cases. Also, improvement of almost all variables measuring quality of life represents one of the most important results obtained by SNM application in this group of patients with severe psychological, social, and behavioral problems due to FI.
