Sacral neuromodulation for treating neurogenic bladder dysfunction: clinical and urodynamic study.

Purpose: The efficacy of sacral neuromodulation for treating refractory idiopathic lower urinary tract dysfunction is now well established. Nevertheless, results of this technique in neurological patients are still controversial. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the results of sacral neuromodulation in neurogenic bladder dysfunction.

Outcome and cost analysis of sacral nerve modulation for treating urinary and/or fecal incontinence.
