BackgroundThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) as a treatment for congenital faecal incontinence (FI).MethodsA retrospective study was conducted on patients with congenital FI who had SNM surgery at our institution between October 2005 and June 2013. An initial percutaneous nerve evaluation was performed, and patients with an improvement of more than 50% in their symptoms had permanently implants for SNM treatment.ResultsThere were 4 patients who received a permanent implant. Mean duration of follow-up was 67.5 months (range 45–135 months). At last follow-up, 2 patients maintained significant improvement with SNM, 1 was explanted after 4 years of treatment due to infection but remained asymptomatic and SNM failed in the remaining patient who went on to graciloplasty.ConclusionsSNM may be of value for treating FI in patients with anorectal malformations.
