Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess long-term device-related reoperations in women over 65 who underwent sacral neuromodulation (SNM) for conditions like overactive bladder, fecal incontinence, and urinary retention over an 8-year period.
- The research analyzed data from over 32,000 women, revealing a total reoperation rate of 43% within 8 years, with the majority being for neuro-electrode or implantable pulse generator (IPG) issues.
- Staged SNM procedures were linked to a lower risk of reoperation, suggesting this approach may be more effective in minimizing the need for further surgical interventions.
