Sacral neuromodulation or (InterStim®) is a promising new therapy for pediatric urinary and fecal incontinence in children when all other treatments have been unsuccessful.
Sacral neuromodulation can also be beneficial children who currently employ a form of colonic irrigation for fecal incontinence or constipation. Successful implantation of the device has resulted in reversal of irrigation channels and an improved self image.
