Electrical stimulation to modify detrusor function
Adv Neurol.
1993.
Abstract
Electrical stimulation to modify detrusor function is now being used in humans. The sacral foramen electrode is currently the only implantable device used to inhibit bladder contractility. Stimulation of a bladder contraction requires electrode placement around the anterior sacral root. Dorsal rhizotomy, preferably performed intradurally, is necessary to abolish detrusor hyperreflexia, thus increasing functional bladder capacity. Stimulation of the anterior sacral root then results in detrusor contraction.
