Abstract

Faecal incontinence is a debilitating condition. Sacral neuromodulation may have a role in the treatment of faecal incontinence. We report a case of faecal incontinence secondary to chronic organophosphate poisoning, which was successfully treated with sacral neuromodulation. The patient's faecal incontinence and quality of life improved significantly.
