Duelund-jakobsen, j., buntzen, s., lundby, l., laurberg, s., sorensen, m., rydningen, m.(2024).One-stage implant in sacral neuromodulation for faecal incontinence - short-term outcome from a prospective study.Colorectal dis.2024;doi:10.1111/codi.16936 summary: aim: sacral neuromodulation (snm) is approved for the treatment of faecal incontinence (fi) in a two-stage technique.With standardized implantation, approximately 90% of patients undergo successful stage i operation and proceed to a permanent implant (stage ii).The aim of this work was to explore the feasibility of snm as a one-stage procedure and report the 24-week efficacy.Method: this study included patients diagnosed with idiopathic fi or fi due to an ex[1]ternal anal sphincter defect =160° and one or more episodes of fi per week despite maximal conservative therapy.Patients were offered a one-stage procedure if a motor response of the external anal sphincter was achieved in three or more poles with at least one at =1.5 ma at lead placement.Patients were followed for 24 weeks.Their evaluation included the wexner/st mark's incontinence score, faecal incontinence quality of life score (fiqol), a visual analogue scale (vas) for assessing patient satisfaction and a bowel habit diary.Results: seventy-three patients with a median age of 60 years (interquartile range 50¿69 years) completed this prospective study.Episodes of fi were significantly reduced at the 24-week follow-up, from 13 (8¿23) at baseline to 2 (0¿5) (p-value = 0002).A =50% reduction in the number of fi episodes was achieved in 92% of participants.The wexner score improved significantly from 16 (14¿17) at baseline to 9 (5¿13) (p-value 0.001), , and the st mark's score improved significantly from 18 (16¿20) to 11 (7¿16) (p-value 0.001).All domains in the fiqol score and vas forpatient satisfaction improved significantly following the one-stage procedure.Conclusion: a one-stage implantation procedure is feasible in selected patients with fi, significantly improving continence, quality of life and patient satisfaction after 24 weeks of follow-up.Reported events: 1. two patients developed an infection.One was of a deep infection on the fourth day after implantation so the pacemaker and electrode were therefore explanted.The other patient developed an infection during study follow-up who had the whole system explanted.2. one patient experienced urinary retention.See attached literature article.
