Abstract

The complications of sacral neuromodulation have been minimized as technology has improved. The main surgical complication remains to be surgical site infection. We review evidence-based suggestions and procedure-specific techniques that reduce the infection rate to less than 2%. In the past, surgical revision was reported as high as 40%. The current revision rate at Mayo Clinic Florida is 10%. The most common reason for surgical revision is either battery end-of-life or loss of effectiveness. We review the best practices of the procedure and a systematic approach to troubleshoot loss of effectiveness.
