Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is a treatment for lower urinary tract dysfunction.
  • Optimal placement of the foramen needle and lead is critical for SNM efficacy.
  • Troubleshooting suboptimal placement can be challenging for surgeons.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an instructional video for surgeons performing Stage I SNM procedures.
  • To enhance the ability to troubleshoot and correct foramen needle and lead placement.
  • To utilize fluoroscopic images and anatomical landmarks for improved procedural accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • Recorded eight instances of suboptimal foramen needle placement and corrections.
  • Utilized a fresh female cadaver for procedural simulation.
  • Captured fluoroscopic images throughout the procedure.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated identification and correction of suboptimal needle placement.
  • Provided fluoroscopic images and anatomical illustrations of the sacrum, S3 foramina, and nerve.
  • Highlighted bony landmarks for anatomical comparison.

Conclusions:

  • The video effectively demonstrates troubleshooting for optimal foramen needle and lead placement in SNM.
  • Understanding bony landmarks and their relationship to the S3 nerve is key to correcting placement.
  • Achieving optimal lead placement is crucial for successful SNM outcomes.
