In addition to risks related to surgery, complications of sacral 
neuromodulation can include pain at the implant sites, new pain, 
infection, lead (thin wire) movement/migration, device problems, 
undesirable changes in urinary or bowel function, and uncomfortable 
stimulation (sometimes described as a jolting or shocking feeling). 
Talk with your doctor about ways to minimize these risks.

TIP

Remember to bring your smart programmer to any 
follow-up appointment you have.
