Sacral neuromodulation is a guideline recommended treatment of urinary dysfunction and fecal incontinence in patients whom conservative treatments have failed. Historically sacral has been delivered using nonrechargeable device with an average life span 4.4 years. Surgery required to replace the implanted neurostimulator due battery depletion. Implantation long-lived can eliminate need for replacement surgeries, potentially reducing patient surgical risks health care costs. The Axonics r-SNM...
