Sacral neuromodulation significantly improved pelvic floor dysfunction in women with faecal incontinence, enhancing bowel, urinary, vaginal, and sexual health. This treatment offers a global improvement in quality of life for affected individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Urogynecology
  • Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
  • Neuromodulation

Background:

  • Many women with faecal incontinence experience coexisting pelvic floor dysfunction.
  • Sacral neuromodulation is a treatment option for faecal incontinence.
  • The impact on non-bowel symptoms is not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effect of sacral neuromodulation on non-bowel related symptomatology in women with faecal incontinence.
  • To assess global pelvic floor function using a validated questionnaire.
  • To investigate improvements in urinary, vaginal, and sexual health.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the electronic Personnel Assessment Questionnaire - Pelvic Floor (ePAQ-PF), a web-based tool.
  • Assessed women undergoing sacral neuromodulation for faecal incontinence.

  • Analyzed pre- and post-stimulator data over a 4.5-year period.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant improvements were observed in faecal incontinence and bowel-related quality of life.
    • Urinary symptoms, vaginal symptoms, and sexual dysfunction showed marked improvement.
    • Vaginal prolapse symptoms and overactive bladder symptoms significantly improved.
    • Global health, bowel evacuation, vaginal pain, and sexual health experienced notable enhancements.

    Conclusions:

    • Sacral neuromodulation effectively improves global pelvic floor function in women with faecal incontinence.
    • The treatment positively impacts bowel, urinary, vaginal, and sexual dimensions.
    • A web-based questionnaire demonstrated comprehensive benefits beyond bowel symptom relief.
