This study found a 16% incidence of revision or explantation. Age under 55 years was identified as a significant risk factor. Our analysis did not find further demographic characteristics, co-morbid disorders, or behavioral diagnoses that were associated with revision or removal. Identification of risk factors may aid in patient selection for sacral nerve stimulation device implantation.
