Proximity of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation needle insertion to surrounding anatomic structures: a cadaveric study.

Background: Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation is a third-line treatment for overactive bladder and urgency urinary incontinence. During the procedure, a needle is inserted cephalad to the medial malleolus and posterior to the tibia. In recent years, permanent implants and leads have been developed for insertion into the medial ankle via a small incision.

Postoperative Opioid Filling Patterns in Women Undergoing Midurethral Sling Placement.
