Article Synopsis
  • Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is a minimally invasive treatment for overactive bladder (OAB) and other pelvic disorders like urinary retention and fecal incontinence.
  • A pacemaker device is implanted in the upper buttocks, sending electrical pulses to the sacral nerves to help regulate nerve signals from pelvic organs.
  • The article reviews important aspects of SNM, including its indications, contraindications, how it works, implantation process, effectiveness, and potential complications for patients with OAB that doesn't respond to other treatments.

[The future of invasive neuromodulation: new techniques and expanded indications].

Urologe A

February 2012

Schwerpunkt für Neuro-Urologie, Stiftung Katholisches Krankenhaus, Marienhospital Herne, Klinikum der Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Widumer Straße 8, 44627 Herne, Deutschland.

Due to the increasing popularity of neuromodulation, the number of indications and patient groups to which this technique is offered is also increasing. We evaluated the currently available data concerning neuromodulation in geriatric patients, children and patients with spinal cord injury and potential alternatives regarding neural targets and implantation techniques.The evidence of the use of neuromodulation in these patient groups is low.

[From end-organ disease to a classifiable bladder pain syndrome: paradigm shift in the understanding of urological pain syndromes exemplified by the condition currently called interstitial cystitis].

Urologe A

Growing clinical and scientific data imply that the condition currently called interstitial cystitis is not just a mere bladder end-organ disease but that the symptoms perceived to be related to the bladder are rather one aspect of a complex pelvic pain syndrome. The term bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC) suggested by the European Society for the Study of IC/PBS (ESSIC) for this condition is currently the only one strictly consistent with the taxonomy guidelines of the European Association of Urology and the International Association for the Study of Pain. BPS would be diagnosed on the basis of chronic pelvic pain, pressure, or discomfort perceived to be related to the urinary bladder, accompanied by at least one other urinary symptom such as persistent urge to void or urinary frequency.
