Translumbar and Transsacral Magnetic Neurostimulation for the Assessment of Neuropathy in Fecal Incontinence

Abstract

Translumbar and transsacral magnetic stimulation-induced, motor-evoked potentials provide objective evidence for rectal or anal neuropathy in subjects with fecal incontinence and could be useful. The test was superior to pudendal nerve terminal motor latency and appears to be safe and well tolerated.
