    LITERATURE: FAUCHERON JL, VOIRIN D, BADIC B, SACRAL NERVE STIMULATION FOR FECAL INCONTINENCE: CAUSES OF SURGICAL REVISION FROM A SERIES OF 87 CONSECUTIVE PTS OPERATED ON IN A SINGLE INSTITUTION. DIS COLON RECTUM. NOV 2010;53(11): 1501-1507.

FROM (B)(6) 2001 TO (B)(6) 2009, 123 PTS (105 WOMEN) OF MEAN AGE 56 YRS WERE OPERATED ON FOR NEUROLOGICAL (N=104) OR IDIOPATHIC (N=19) FECAL INCONTINENCE. EIGHTY-SEVEN PTS OF 123 HAD A POSITIVE TEST AND UNDERWENT STIMULATOR IMPLANTATION. ANY STIMULATOR DYSFUNCTION WAS PROSPECTIVELY STUDIED. AMONG THE 87 PTS, 36 HAD SURGICAL REVISION OF THE DEVICE FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: DEVICE-RELATED FAILURE DUE TO INFECTION, ELECTRODE DISPLACEMENT OR BREAKAGE, AND DYSFUNCTION OWING TO IMPEDANCE INCREASE OF THE SYSTEM; ADVERSE STIMULATION WITH PAIN; BATTERY DEPLETION EITHER OF GENERATOR END OF LIFE OR MRI; AND LOSS OF CLINICAL EFFICACY. AMONG THE 87 PTS, 21 HAD REMOVAL OF THE STIMULATOR DURING F/U. REPORTABLE EVENT: IT WAS REPORTED THAT ONE PT (A (B)(6) FEMALE) HAD TO BE SURGICALLY EXPLORED BECAUSE THEY PRESENTED WITH SUDDEN WORSENING OF THE FUNCTIONAL RESULTS (RECURRENCE OF ANAL INCONTINENCE ASSOCIATED WITH LIGHTNING PAINS ALONG THE LEG WHEN EXTENDING THE THIGH ON THE SAME SIDE AS THE ELECTRODE IMPLANTATION AND NOT THE STIMULATOR SITE. THE IMPENDENCE OF THE SYSTEM WAS OVER 4000 OHMS BUT THE BATTERY WAS NOT DEPLETED.
