Sacral nerve stimulation is a simple, safe, and minimally invasive technique with low morbidity and excellent results, which appear to be maintained for the first 6 years after the procedure. For patients who underwent the treatment, median Wexner incontinence score decreased significantly after a median follow-up of 24 (range, 3-72) months. Twelve percent were explanted. The infection rate was 1.6%.

Adenomatous polyps occur frequently in ileal pouches. These findings are of concern, and therefore, regular surveillance seems warranted until the natural history of these adenomatous polyps is determined.
