  2. CONSTIPATION IS MERELY A SYMPTOM

  3. Surgery for constipation Surgical results are frequently disappointing in chronic idiopathic constipation : • Anorectal myotomy • Segmental colectomy • Total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis

  4. Marthe A thirty one years follow up…

  5. Marthe MARCH 29, 1981 REASON FOR CONSULTATION : SEVERE CONSTIPATION • « Always » • 1 stool / 2 months • Slow transit constipation GASTROENTEROLOGY CONSULTATION : TOTAL COLECTOMY ?

  9. Sacral nerve stimulationfor slow transit constipation MALOUF 2002 n = 8 WOMEN Patients : Failure of standard treatment including biofeedback Duration of constipation : 9 – 47 years (31) Stool frequency : 1 per 2 – 21 days (6) ________________________________________ Results : Site of SNS : S3 (6 on left) Results of SNS : Cure 1 Relief 1 No normalization of colonic transit

Sacral nerve stimulationfor intractable constipation KAMM 2010 MULTICENTRIC (5 CENTERS) TEST STIMULATION : 62 (55 females) CHRONIC STIMULATION : 45 (73%) SUCCESSES : 39 (87% of 45) BEFORE SNS AFTER SNS STOOL FREQUENCY 2.3 6.6 (p < 0.001) (per week) DAYS WITH DEFECATION 2.3 4.8 (p < 0.001) (per week) TOILETING TIME 10.5 5.7 (p < 0.001) (min) CLEVELAND CLINIC 18 10 (p < 0.001) CONSTIPATION SCORE DELAYED MARKERS TRANSIT 20 9 (p = 0.014)

Sacral nerve stimulationfor intractable constipation KAMM 2010 Questions about colorectal transit time Technique : Multiple markers ingestion – single Xray of abdomen Duration : 5 days (No steady state conditions) Abnormality : 12 / 62 with normal transit time Segments : No evaluation of segmental colonic transit Paired evaluation : 23 / 62 Transit : No change in stool frequency if no change in transit _______________________________________ Questions about follow up duration Before enrollment : 1 – 60 years (median of 10) After SNS : 1 – 55 months (median of 28)

  16. SUCCESSES

  17. Sacral nerve stimulation for idiopathic chronic slow transit constipation R.L. MALE PROBAND CONSULTATION : 06/02/2006 • Constipation frombirth • One stool / 3 – 4 weeks; plugging the toiletbowl • Vasodilation of lefthemi-abdomen from the spine to the xiphoid-pubis line • Evaluation : megarectum (770 cc) anismuscorrected by biofeedback

  18. Sacral nerve stimulation for idiopathic chronic slow transit constipation R.L. MALE • Left PNS (1 week) :1 – 2 stools / day • Right PNS : no effect (technical ?) • Left PNS (2 weeks): - 1 – 2 stools / day for 5 days with markers progression - unplugging in doorhandle - 0 stool 0 markers progression • SNS : 1 – 3 stools/day(3 yearsfollow up)

  19. Sacral nerve stimulation for idiopathic chronic slow transit constipation J.T. FEMALE • Constipation sincechildhood • Up to 37 dayswithoutdefecation • Neurogenicbladder : 4 – 5 catheterizations per day

  20. Sacral nerve stimulation for idiopathicchronic slow transit constipation J.T. N MARKERS 2008 / 2010 / 2011 RIGHT COLON EMPTIES WELL 20 10 2012 POST SNS 1 7 DAYS AFTER INGESTION DAILY STOOLS (1 – 3) ORGASMIC EXPERIENCES SPONTANEOUS VOIDING (5 – 6 / DAY ; NO MORE CATHETERIZATION)

  21. Sacral nerve stimulation for fecal incontinence by pudendal neuropathy D.D. REASON FOR CONSULTATION (12/9/2002) • Constipation : 1 stool / 20 days following the death of herfather • Fecal incontinence : Wexner score 11 / 20 (2 – 0 – 3 – 3 – 3)

  22. Sacral nerve stimulation for fecal incontinence by pudendal neuropathy D.D. Anorectal manometry Normal resting pressures : 24/ 67/ 56 (cm H20) Voluntary contraction : weak 0 /+21/+83 (cm H20) Anismus : +25 /+16/+79 (cm H20) corrected by biofeedback Rectal accomodation : microrectum 80 ml normal sensation Anal EMG Pudendal neuropathy polyphasic units PNTML 2.5 ms, and weak (right) Radiopaque markers transit : Delay in left colon (25 / 74/ 10 // 109) (hours) PNE Left (13/4/2005) Wexner 0 / 20 Daily stool Right (27/4/2005) Wexner 9 / 20 Constipation

  23. Sacral nerve stimulation for fecal incontinence by pudendal neuropathy D.D. 14/7/2005 LEFT SNS (1st trial failed on 16/6/2005) 11/10/2012 Wexner 0/20 Stools went from 1 – 2 / month to 2 – 3 / day Never orgasmic during penetration before SNS Orgasmic during penetration after SNS (retrospective finding)

  24. FAILURES

  25. Laxative anorexia V.G. RC : 17/1/2006 Severe constipation 1 stool / 14 days (Zelnorm) 4 stools / 19 days (no medication) Markers transit 1. 3 days (transit time : 45 hours) 2. 20 / 20 markers retained 6 daysafter ingestion (transit time > 144 hours) 3. Same as 2. No menstruation Anal electromyography : Mildanismus

  26. Laxative anorexia V.G. PNS : Left (24/11/2006) – Right (8/12/2006) = Failures 2008 : Malone 2009 : Malone undone 2010 : Suicidal attempt Transfer to psychiatry Diagnosis of laxative anorexia 2012 : Prucalopride Occasional stool

  27. Constipation is not a sign which can be evaluated scientifically. It is merely a symptom !

  28. Sacral Neurostimulationin Constipation :It maywork.But whenisitreasonable ???
