BACKGROUND: Sacral nerve stimulation is an established treatment for fecal incontinence and initial reports describe successful results also in subjects with chronic constipation.METHODS: Consecutive patients with slow transit or outlet obstruction type constipation were offered external stimulation through a test electrode inserted in a sacral foramen during a 3-week period. The symptomatic evaluation was based on the number of bowel movements and a validated obstructed defecation score (ODS). A permanent implant was performed provided an overall 50% decrease in symptoms was observed.KEY RESULTS: In total, 44 patients with chronic constipation were treated with a 3-week test stimulation. Fifteen experienced a 50% reduction of symptoms and received a permanent implant. Four of the 15 with permanent implants were explanted during the course of the study. Five subjects (11% of original group) reported sustained symptom relief at final follow-up after a mean of 24 months (range 4-81). Mean ODS score did not change during the treatment. Patients with predominantly slow transit constipation or outlet obstruction did not differ concerning success rate.CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES: Sacral nerve stimulation has limited efficacy in unselected patients with chronic constipation and cannot be recommended for treatment on routine basis.
