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
  • Small subcutaneous device that’s MRI compatible
