Area of Science:
- Urology
- Neuromodulation
- Surgical Complications
Background:
- Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is a key treatment for refractory bladder conditions like urge incontinence and urinary retention.
- Percutaneous nerve evaluation (PNE) is a diagnostic step for SNM, involving temporary lead placement to assess efficacy.
