Multicenter Study
Sacral neuromodulation for fecal incontinence in Latin America: initial results of a multicenter study.
Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is a widely used therapeutic option for fecal incontinence (FI). Larger series are mainly from Western countries, while few reports address the results of SNM in less developed or less wealthy countries. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of SNM in patients with FI in Latin America. ⋯ Sacral nerve stimulation for FI is safe and efficient, even in less wealthy or less developed countries.
