InterStim Therapy for Fecal Incontinence
The device was found to be safe and effective in patients with fecal incontinence of more than two times per week. Nearly 40% of patients on InterStim therapy were benefited with perfect continence after three years of using the device.
The InterStim system is a neurostimulator device which is implanted surgically to deliver electric impulses to the sacral nerve in order to modulate the anal sphincter as a way to control incontinence.
The device has greatly helped boost the quality of life for victims.
