Posterior tibial nerve stimulation for the treatment of fecal incontinence following obstetric anal sphincter injury
S Sanagapalli, S Harrington, N Zarate-Lopez… - … : Technology at the …, 2018 - Elsevier
Objectives Obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASI) are a major risk factor for fecal
incontinence (FI). Neuromodulation is often used as second-line therapy for FI, but evidence
for its efficacy is conflicting. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and predictive factors of
posterior tibial nerve stimulation for obstetric anal sphincter injury-induced FI. Materials and
Methods Consecutive females with FI related to past OASI who had not responded to first-
line therapy and had received 8–12 weeks of posterior tibial nerve stimulation were …
