NCT01786304 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 37

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) is a new therapeutic option to treat fecal incontinence, although its mecanims of action remains poorly understood. The investigators hypothtized that SNS could act on enteric nervous system (ENS). To verify this hypothesis, the investigators will collect biopsy samples from patients implanted for SNS, and assess whether SNS induces changes in ENS.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE
