contents One‐stage implant in sacral neuromodulation for faecal incontinence – short‐term outcome from a prospective study Jakob Duelund‐Jakobsen Steen Buntzen Lilli Lundby Søren Laurberg Michael Sørensen Mona Rydningen Colorectal Disease AbstractAimSacral neuromodulation (SNM) is approved for the treatment of faecal incontinence (FI) in a two‐stage technique. With standardized implantation, approximately 90% of patients undergo successful Stage I operation and proceed to a permanent implant (Stage II). The aim of this work was to explore the feasibility of SNM as a one‐stage procedure and report the 24‐week efficacy.MethodThis study included patients diagnosed with idiopathic FI or FI due to an external anal sphincter defect ≤160° and one or more episodes of FI per week despite maximal conservative therapy. Patients were offered a one‐stage procedure if a motor response of the external anal sphincter was achieved in three or more poles with at least one at ≤1.5 mA at lead placement. Patients were followed for 24 weeks. Their evaluation included the Wexner/St Mark's Incontinence Score, Faecal Incontinence Quality of Life score (FIQoL), a visual analogue scale (VAS) for assessing patient satisfaction and a bowel habit diary.ResultsSeventy‐three patients with a median age of 60 years (interquartile range 50–69 years) completed this prospective study. Episodes of FI were significantly reduced at the 24‐week follow‐up, from 13 (8–23) at baseline to 2 (0–5) (p‐value = 0002). A ≥50% reduction in the number of FI episodes was achieved in 92% of participants. The Wexner score improved significantly from 16 (14–17) at baseline to 9 (5–13) (p‐value < 0.001), and the St Mark's score improved significantly from 18 (16–20) to 11 (7–16) (p‐value < 0.001). All domains in the FIQoL score and VAS for patient satisfaction improved significantly following the one‐stage procedure.ConclusionA one‐stage implantation procedure is feasible in selected patients with FI, significantly improving continence, quality of life and patient satisfaction after 24 weeks of follow‐up. 10.1111/codi.16936 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
