Thank you for an excellent presentation. I would like to know if Axonics is considered superior to Intra-stim. I am concerned about the migration of leads. Even a presentation from Instrastim, did not provide details about this, but I do know that the two companies have different leads and that the Axonics version is positioned differently to prevent migration. I am torn between going to a Gyn Urologist who Implants Intrastim, I was referred to her by my wonderful Oncologist. If I want Axonics, I will have to be referred to a different Urologist who uses that method. I have had endometrial cancer with risk of recurrence of only 4% and take anti-coagulants after massive bi-lateral pulmonary emboli in 2017. I want a rechargable battery, a device that lasts 15+ years, and is least invasive due to concerns about bleeding. I have also read that have had both kinds of devices, Intrastim as well as Axonics prefer Axonics. What is your imput please?
