Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS, sacral neuromodulation) has become an important tool in the treatment of incontinence. Idiopathic, muscular as well as neurogenous disorders can be treated successfully with this method. Possible complications like infections, cable breaks and electrode displacements may be treated very well conservatively. However, in some patients a surgical revision or removal of the stimulation system may be necessary.
