Pascual et al . ( 2011 ) revised the follow up results of the first 50 people that submit to sacral nerve stimulation ( SNS ) to treat fecal incontinence in Madri ( Spain ).

Medial to this angle is a notch, which is converted into a foramen by the transverse process of the first piece of the coccyx, and this transmits the anterior division of the fifth sacral nerve.
33.
It arises partly from the dorsal divisions of the first and second, and from the ventral divisions of the second and third sacral nerves, and issues from the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen below the piriformis muscle.
34.
The advisory panel for the Food and Drug Administration recommended the approval of the Sacral Nerve Stimulator-- or SNS-- for use in patients suffering urge incontinence, a condition characterized by a frequent, abrupt, and uncontrollable need to urinate.
35.
It is absent in approximately one third of people; its place may be taken by a branch from the posterior cutaneous nerve of thigh or by a branch from the third and fourth, or fourth and fifth, sacral nerves.
36.
Without knowing much about the injury you describe, I would assume that a separation between L5 and S1, while painful and probably dangerous, could plausibly fail to sever any of the sacral nerves that exit from the sacral region.
37.
The advisory panel for the Food and Drug Administration is considering whether to recommend the agency approve the Sacral Nerve Stimulator-or SNS-for use in patients suffering urge incontinence, a condition characterized by a frequent, abrupt, and uncontrollable need to urinate.
38.
It is a short artery which runs backward between the lumbosacral trunk and the first sacral nerve, and, passing out of the pelvis above the upper border of the piriformis muscle, immediately divides into a superficial and a deep branch.
39.
Sacral Nerve Stimulator implant which works like a heart pacemaker can provide impulses to the pelvic floor muscles which tighten up the pelvic floor improving control over the large bowel compensating for faecal incontinence and is available on the NHS.
40.
Functional deficits of the external anal sphincter ( EAS ) and / or internal anal sphincter ( IAS ), i . e . where there is no structural defect, or only limited EAS structural defect, or with neurogenic incontinence, may be assessed for sacral nerve stimulation.
