Prospective Evaluation of Sacral Neuromodulation in Children: Outcomes and Urodynamic Predictors of Success.

Purpose: Sacral neuromodulation has been demonstrated to improve refractory bowel bladder dysfunction in children. The purpose of the current study was to determine whether results are durable in children after longer followup, whether children with a lower body mass index are at risk for device failure and whether pretreatment urodynamic evaluation can predict posttreatment outcome.

Materials And Methods: Pediatric patients with refractory bowel bladder dysfunction were enrolled following informed consent and followed prospectively.
