DON’T STRUGGLE WITH STOOL ACCIDENTS
Medicines often do not work and have many side effects. Stool accidents are embarrassing and having to wear diapers is detrimental to your health and quality of life. We are experts in bowel/stool control and can help you.
ADVANCED TECHNIQUES: BETTER OUTCOMES AND LESS SIDE EFFECTS
Advanced Interstim is a proprietary technique utilizing Medtronic’s Sacral Nerve Stimulation (or Interstim) technology that provides the best outcomes with minimal side effects. This is similar to implanting a small pacemaker or nerve stimulator for the rectum. We utilize Advanced technology with 3D geospatial mapping to precisely fix the root cause of stool accidents. This targeted millimeter accuracy improves outcomes and minimizes side effects. Urologists from around the world come to Advanced to learn from our talented team.
HOW DOES ADVANCED INTERSTIM WORK?
Advanced Nervestim fixes the root cause of stool accidents by fixing the pelvic nerves. It is a long term solution for FI with incredible precision and accuracy. It is covered by all major insurances including Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross, Cigna, Humana, Medicare, and Medicare Advantage Plans.

3 STEP JOURNEY TO SUCCESS
INITIAL VISIT
Our goal is to provide you personalized and innovative health care. We are professional, discreet, and empathetic. Your first visit in our clean, modern offices is to establish a relationship and understand your treatment goals. Meet us online or in person.
TESTING
You are sedated through an IV in our surgery center. There is no pain, no incision, and no discomfort. Advanced Interstim testing is performed by placing small wires the size of thread down to the pelvic nerves. This is done via a small skin puncture similar to a blood draw. You are sent home after a short 10 minute procedure. If this test is successful, then a permanent implant is placed.
MINOR PROCEDURE
You are sedated through an IV in our surgery center. Advanced Interstim is performed and a small battery and soft wire are implanted under the skin. The procedure typically takes 30 minutes and you are sent home the same day. You should expect improvement within the first week with your stool accidents.
