Sacral Nerve Stimulation (SNS) for Urinary Control

InterStim Therapy for Urinary Control offers a revolutionary approach to managing urinary urge incontinence, nonobstructive urinary retention, and significant symptoms of urgency-frequency in patients who have failed or could not tolerate more conservative treatments. Medtronic developed InterStim Therapy using more than 13 years of experience in neurostimulation therapies. The implantable InterStim System uses mild electrical stimulation of the sacral nerve that influences the behavior of the bladder, sphincter, and pelvic floor muscles. In properly selected patients, the therapy can be dramatically successful in reducing or eliminating symptoms.
