Laparoscopic selective pudendal neuromodulation for neurogenic bladder: a review of literature

Tibet Erdogru et al. Cent European J Urol. 2020.

Abstract

This study presents an alternative technique for neuromodulation in cases where percutaneous sacral implantation is difficult or has previously failed. We aimed to describe a novel technique of selective placement of an electrode over the pudendal nerve (PN), via laparoscopic approach in a patient with urinary retention who previously failed sacral neuromodulation (SNM) treatment.

Keywords: neurogenic bladder; neuromodulation; pudendal nerve.
