title: Sacral nerve neuromodulation (InterStim). Part II: Review of programming.
abstract: While it is not critical for health care providers to know everything about the InterStim (sacral nerve neuromodulation) equipment and programming, Part II of this series will increase the provider's knowledge about InterStim therapy by describing the equipment, delineating patient education needs, and discussing the art of programming. This article will assist the provider in trouble shooting the system and provide some insight into the patient's therapy.
