SaFaRI: Sacral nerve stimulation versus the FENIX TM magnetic sphincter augmentation for adult faecal incontinence: a randomised Investigation

The limited evidence from the included trials suggests that SNS can improve continence in a proportion of patients with faecal incontinence. However, SNS did not improve symptoms in patients with constipation. In addition, adverse events occurred in some patients where these were reported. Rigorous high quality randomised trials are needed to allow the effects of SNS for these conditions to be assessed with more certainty.
