Gastrointestinal pacing therapy, also known as sacral nerve electrical stimulation, is a minimally invasive surgical treatment. It is primarily a treatment for persistent constipation and fecal incontinence that is ineffective or intolerant of conservative treatment. Gastrointestinal Pacing Therapy works by stimulating the sacral nerve to regulate the nerve fibers of the internal sphincter, external sphincter, pelvic floor muscles, and colon, and by regulating the nerve reflexes controlling the afferent sensory fibers of the rectum and anus, so that the abnormal nerve reflexes can reach equilibrium again to improve the rectal sensation, sphincter function, and rectal vitality, thus restoring the symptoms of bowel dysfunction. Gastrointestinal pacing therapy is also effective in slow-transmission constipation, outlet obstruction constipation and mixed constipation caused by non-organic causes. If gastrointestinal pacing therapy is needed, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment under the supervision of a doctor.
