Effects of Tibial Nerve Electrostimulation in Patients With Fecal Incontinence: A Systematic Review
Most studies demonstrated a reduction of 50% or more in fecal incontinence episodes, as well as significant improvement in severity scores and quality of life. Randomized clinical trials presented a low risk of bias, while some observational studies demonstrated methodological limitations. PTNS is a minimally invasive intervention with a favorable safety profile and potential clinical applicability.
