Sacral nerve modulation is a safe and effective treatment for voiding dysfunction. This minimally invasive therapy, using sacral neuromodulation, offers improved bladder control for patients with refractory conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Neurology
  • Pelvic Health

Background:

  • Sacral nerve modulation (SNM) is increasingly utilized for voiding dysfunction.
  • Its simplicity makes it suitable for refractory cases.
  • Percutaneous screening is crucial for therapeutic success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sacral nerve modulation for voiding and storage dysfunction.
  • To highlight the benefits of the minimally invasive tined lead procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Percutaneous screening test for patient selection.
  • Minimally invasive implantation of a tined lead for sacral neuromodulation.
  • Use of local anesthesia to facilitate recovery and reduce complications.

Main Results:

  • Long-term follow-up demonstrates significant efficacy and safety.
  • The procedure is well-tolerated, with patient sensory awareness aiding lead placement.
  • Local anesthesia contributes to faster recovery and fewer complications.

Conclusions:

  • Sacral nerve modulation is an effective treatment modality for various voiding and storage dysfunctions.
  • The minimally invasive approach with a tined lead offers a favorable safety profile.
  • SNM provides a valuable option for managing patients with refractory voiding dysfunction.
