Evaluation of Sacral Nerve Stimulation Device Revision and Explantation in a Single Center, Multidisciplinary Study

Objective This study aimed to determine the incidence and risk factors associated with revision or removal of a sacral nerve stimulation device for treatment of lower urinary tract dysfunction or fecal incontinence. Materials and Methods This is a single‐center multidisciplinary retrospective cohort study conducted at a university hospital from January 2013 through October 2017. Subjects who underwent successful sacral neuromodulation were identified via procedural codes. Clinical and demographic data regarding device revision or removal were extracted from the medical record. When testing differences between groups, t‐test or Mann‐Whitney U test was used to compare continuous variables. Categorical variables were compared by Chi‐square test. Risk factors with a p value
