Bladder leakage is one of the most common problems among Americans over the age of 40. For some, it is related to pregnancy or prostate problems and can be considered a minor nuisance. But for others, bladder leakage is embarrassing and disruptive to daily life. Bowel leakage can occur for many of the same reasons — past pregnancy, aging, pelvic radiation, surgery, spinal injury, and nerve deterioration. Historically, these conditions were difficult to treat and resolve, but that’s not the case anymore. Today, there’s a solution for bladder and bowel leakage — it’s no longer something to endure.

A Simple Procedure for a Dramatic Improvement

Highly effective new technology allows relief of both bladder and bowel leakage with a simpler procedure using local anesthetic. Sacral nerve modulation has improved dramatically over the past 20 years, and in the ARTISAN Trial of sacral modulation, 90% of patients experienced successful relief of symptoms and improved quality of life. Offered here at the Continence Center of Nevada Surgical in Reno, Nevada, Axonics Therapy is a long-term treatment solution for incontinent issues including:
  • Overactive bladder
  • Bowel incontinence
  • Urinary retention

Axonics Therapy is clinically proven to help people regain bladder and bowel control. Highlights include:

  • Safety and efficacy for patients of all ages
  • Minimally invasive with only local anesthetic
  • Resolution for both bladder and bowel leakage
  • No batter change necessary for 15+ years

Why Choose Dr. Sasse and The Continence Center?

He has provided outstanding relief to hundreds of patients using sacral nerve modulation, thanks to his decades of experience with bowel and bladder disorders relating to multiple condition — diabetes, radiation, childbirth, aging, obesity, nerve injury, and trauma.
