Interstim Sacral Neuromodulator: For Overactive Bladder and Incontincence

This month in The Operating Room, we’re shedding light on a transformative treatment for overactive bladder and urge incontinence: the Interstim Sacral Neuromodulator. For over 20 years, Interstim has provided life-changing relief for patients when medications and pelvic floor exercises fall short. Dr. Christi has successfully implanted hundreds Interstim devices, and the results speak for themselves.

What is Interstim?

Interstim is a proven treatment designed to address symptoms of:

• Overactive bladder
• Spastic bladder
• Urge incontinence

How Does It Work?

The Interstim device delivers gentle electrical pulses to the sacral nerves, helping to regulate bladder function. The procedure is minimally invasive and performed in two stages:

1. Trial Phase: After an initial consultation and thorough evaluation, Dr. Christi implants a temporary device. During this trial, you’ll evaluate its effectiveness—many patients notice a 50% or greater improvement in symptoms.
2. Permanent Implantation: If the trial is successful, the permanent device is implanted in a brief follow-up procedure. The generator, discreetly placed under the skin near the buttocks, provides long-lasting relief.

Why Choose Interstim?

In clinical comparisons, Interstim consistently outperforms other bladder treatments, offering superior improvements in quality of life. Once implanted, the device requires minimal maintenance, with the battery lasting about 10 years before a quick replacement procedure is needed.

If you’re struggling with overactive bladder and ready to explore a lasting solution, Interstim could be the answer you’ve been searching for.
