Description:
The InterStim II is a small pacemaker that is permanently attached under the skin. The device sends weak electrical impulses to the nerves in the spinal cord that control the functions of the bowel, bladder and rectum. The corresponding muscles are permanently trained and strengthened via these nerves, treating complaints such as faecal incontinence, constipation and an overactive or flaccid bladder.
Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) is generally used when conservative treatment measures are not effective. In addition to constant medical supervision, patients can influence the intensity of the electrical impulses themselves using a remote control.
