    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    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. SUMMARY: THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO INVESTIGATE THE CAUSES OF SURGICAL REVISION FOLLOWING SACRAL NERVE STIMULATION IN CONSECUTIVE PTS WHO HAD RECEIVED IMPLANTS. FROM (B)(6) 2001 TO (B)(6) 2009, (B)(6) PTS ((B)(6) WOMEN) WERE OPERATED ON FOR NEUROLOGICAL (N=104) OR IDIOPATHIC (N=19) FECAL INCONTINENCE. (B)(6) PTS (B)(6) HAD A POSITIVE TEST AND UNDERWENT STIMULATOR IMPLANTATION. ANY STIMULATOR DYSFUNCTION WAS PROSPECTIVELY STUDIED. AMONG THE (B)(6) PTS, (B)(6) 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. (B)(6) HAD REMOVAL OF THE STIMULATOR DURING FOLLOW-UP. REPORTABLE EVENT: IT WAS REPORTED THAT ONE PT (A (B)(6) MALE) WHO HAD PUDENDAL NEUROPATHY OF UNK ORIGIN; PRESENTED WITH PAIN AT THE STIMULATOR SITE AND THE INFECTION BECAME OBVIOUS IN THE SIXTH MONTH; REMOVAL WAS NECESSARY AND DONE IN ANOTHER HOSPITAL. THE RECURRENCE OF ANAL INCONTINENCE LED THE PT TO ASK FOR A NEW IMPLANT; THIS WAS LESS EFFICACIOUS AND THE PT COMMITTED SUICIDE. THE SOURCE LITERATURE DID NOT SPECIFY WHICH DEVICE MODELS WERE USED.
