Information was received from a consumer regarding a patient who was implanted with a neurostimulator (ins) for urinary dysfunction/sacral nerve stim.It was reported that the patient¿s device was removed sometime in 2010 due to a broken lead, and because the battery died within a year of being implanted.It was also reported that during the removal surgery a portion of the lead wire broke off and is still embedded in their left hip area, but the device is already removed.No further patient complications are anticipated or expected as a result of this event.
