What are the morbidity and mortality rates of sacral nerve stimulation?
GaleEncyofSurgery
Sacral nerve stimulation has been shown to be a safe and effective procedure.Two groups of researchers, in Spain and the United Kingdom respectively,reported that "the effects of neuromodulation are long-lasting and associated morbidity is low.".

What are the mortality and morbidity rates associated with hand surgery?

Morbidity rates, which refer to complications or adverse events, vary depending on the specific procedure but are generally low as well. Common complications might include infection, nerve damage, or stiffness in the hand.
Which of the stimuli resulted is the most effective nerve stimulation?
Electrical stimulation is typically the most effective method for nerve stimulation as it can directly trigger action potentials in the nerve fibers. Light and chemical stimuli can also stimulate nerves but are generally not as precise or efficient as electrical stimulation.
