Abstract:
Sacral root neuromodulation is recognized as an effective therapy for chronic voiding dysfunction. However, knowledge about the neuromodulator in the general medical community is scarce. We report a case of muscle fibrillation caused by current leaking from a neuromodulator lead which had been damaged during disc prolapse surgery.
