To compare the use of intraoperative ultrasound with X-ray fluoroscopy during sacral neuromodulation lead electrode placement in patients with neurogenic bladder secondary to spinal cord disease. We reviewed the medical records of 52 patients who underwent sacral neuromodulation (SNM) lead electrode implantation under fluoroscopy or ultrasound guid...

Background: The treatment of common overactive bladder (OAB) has reached a consensus, but there is not a clear answer to the treatment of refractory OAB (ROAB). ROAB is defined as nonresponsive to treatment with behavioural and oral therapies. The disease can influence the physical and mental health of patients, cause poor quality of life, and crea...

Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is one of the few management options shown to improve outcomes in patients with detrusor underactivity (DU). This original research will investigate if preserved bladder contractility can predict a successful treatment with SNM. This is a retrospective study of a prospectively collected database of consecutive patients ...

Voiding symptoms/dysfunctions (VS/Ds) after surgery for deep-infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) are frequent (20% of patients) and, together with bowel dysfunctions, may represent a de novo disorder due to surgical damage of the pelvic plexus or a worsening of pre-existent functional damage. Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) might improve voiding symptoms...

Background Up to 7.5% of tined-lead removals in patients having sacral neuromodulation (SNM) therapy are associated with a lead breakage. It is still unclear what adverse effects can be caused by unretrieved fragments. The aim of our study was to describe the lead removal technique we have been using for the last 2 years in our centre. Methods We r...

Introduction Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) has been used in carefully selected patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunctions (nLUTD) for over two decades. Methods The aim of the current work was to perform a systematic literature review and meta-analysis of studies reporting the safety and effectiveness of SNM in patients with nLUTD (neu...

The main objective of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) during pregnancy. We retrospectively enrolled patients who underwent SNM implantation in our center and subsequently became pregnant. The indication for SNM, timing of device de-activation (if performed), course of pregnancy and urological complicat...

To evaluate if age and comorbidities are associated with progression from trial phase to implantation of an implantable pulse generator in women with overactive bladder. This multisite retrospective cohort included women with overactive bladder with or without urinary incontinence who had a trial phase for sacral neuromodulation. The primary outcom...

Our aim was to report the first case of computer-assisted lead placement (CALP) for a peripheral nerve evaluation (PNE) test in a 55-year-old woman affected by chronic pelvic pain, who was a candidate for sacral neuromodulation (SNM). The first PNE test failed due to nonoptimal lead placement. We utilized a surgical navigation system (SNS) with ele...

There is an ongoing debate as to whether or not the efficacy of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is optimized by maximizing the total number of active electrode poles (AEPs) during lead placement because there are more programming options. However, this is at the cost of increased operating time. The aims of this study were to establish if a higher num...
