Journal of Neurosurgery
|February 1, 1976
Summary
Selective sacral neurectomy effectively treated incontinence caused by uninhibited bladder contractions in most patients. This surgical approach improved bladder capacity and reduced involuntary contractions, offering a viable treatment option.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Neurosurgery
- Pelvic Floor Medicine
Background:
- Urinary incontinence due to detrusor overactivity (uninhibited bladder contractions) significantly impacts quality of life.
- Neurological conditions are common causes, but idiopathic cases also exist.
- Conservative treatments are not always effective, necessitating surgical interventions.
