Abstract:
It has been shown that some patients with stress incontinence after prostatectomy may have significant improvement with electrical anal stimulation. The use of a transcutaneous stimulator is the easiest and least invasive method to try initially. Results may be quite satisfying whether the mechanism is physiologic or placebo. This is the first report of the use of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in patients with stress incontinence.
