==Bladder/Sacral Nerve Stimulators==
==See Also==
*Single wire system inserted into the S3 sacral foramen to stimulate sacral nerve and treat urinary incontinence
Complications
#Infection (early or late complication)
#Lead Migration
#Stimulator misfiring


==Deep Brain Stimulators==
==External Links==
*Implanted to treat Parkinson's disease and dystonia.
*Single lead systems implanted into the thalamus
Complications
#Infection (usually early after placement)
#Over or Under stimulation
#Lead Migration


==Gastric Pacemakers==
==References==
* Inserted into the gastric musculature for gastroparesis management
<references/>
Complications
#Perforation
#Infection
#Lead Migration


==Phrenic Nerve/Diaphragmatic Stimulators==
[[Category:Surgery]]
*Implanted into bilateral phrenic nerves to treat rerspiratory insufficiency from poor diaphragmatic motion
Complications
#Pneumothorax (early after implantation)
#Infection
#Wire Migration
#Drive malfunction (causing diaphragmatic paralysis)
