Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of implantable sacral neuromodulation combined with floating needle reperfusion in treating patients with functional defecation disorder. Methods: 40 eligible constipated patients with defecation disorder were screened according to the criteria of Rome IV for chronic constipation, and were divided into 20 cases each in the control group and the study group according to the random number table method. The control group was given oral lactulose combined with mosapride treatment, and the study group was given implantation of sacral nerve stimulation electrodes and floating needle reperfusion treatment. The clinical symptoms, visual analog scale (VAS) score, Wexner score for constipation, quality of life score, anorectal manometry, adverse reactions, and complications were observed in both groups. Results: After treatment, the median number of voluntary feces per week and the median number of days of voluntary feces per week in the study group were higher than those in the control group, and the median duration of defecation was lower than that in the control group (P 0.05). Conclusion: In the treatment of patients with functional defecation disorder, implantable sacral neuromodulation combined with floating needle reperfusion therapy can effectively improve the clinical symptoms and quality of life of patients.
