Incontinence Program

Urinary or fecal incontinence affects nearly 3,000,000 people in the U.S. However, due to the somewhat embarrassing or sensitive nature of incontinence, many people suffer in private and don’t always feel comfortable telling their doctors about bowel or bladder leakage. Yet, factors such as an increasingly aging population, consumer education, and growing acceptance of incontinence issues are driving people to seek help.

People who experience bowel and/or bladder incontinence symptoms may be experiencing complications due to:

• Childbirth, especially in women who have had episiotomies
• Stroke
• Diabetes
• Parkinson’s
• Immobility issues
• Cancer of the bowel or bladder
• Changes due to aging
• Some neurological disorders
• Muscle damage
• Menopause
• Rectal prolapse, and other causes

At Shore Outpatient Surgicenter, we are pleased to offer patients a safe, reliable, and cost-effective surgical treatments through our Incontinence Program for fecal and urinary incontinence. This program offers modern, technologically advanced surgical solutions for bowel and bladder issues.

Surgical solutions include:

InterStim® device - This two-part system is implanted into the body and works by stimulating the nerves associated with bowel and bladder function, and is a safe, proven, and effective treatment to restore urinary and bowel functions to more normal patterns. With this device, patients can expect a trial period to ensure the treatment is effective. If the InterStim® device is successful, permanent placement is done as an outpatient procedure at Shore Outpatient Surgicenter.
