Invasive carcinoma of urinary bladder in a patient with a spinal cord injury with non-functioning Brindley sacral anterior root stimulator: a case report
BACKGROUND Anterior sacral root stimulation combined with sacral posterior rhizotomy restores bladder function in spinal cord-injured patients suffering from hyperactive bladder. After successful implantation of bladder stimulator, urinary infection rate decreases, and patients are able to get rid of indwelling urinary catheters, which in turn reduce the risks for vesical malignancy. We present...
متن کاملCross-talk in Nerve Root Stimulator Implants
Implanted stimulators of motor nerve roots have been used for functional restoration in paraplegia since many years. While the high root density of the cauda equina limits the surgery to one field, it also presents the problem of cross-talk stimulation: unwanted activation of a root lying near an active set of electrodes. The Lumbar Anterior Root Stimulator Implant (LARSI) did exhibit cross-tal...
متن کاملClinical Results of a Brindley Procedure: Sacral Anterior Root Stimulation in Combination with a Rhizotomy of the Dorsal Roots
The Brindley procedure consists of a stimulator for sacral anterior-root stimulation and a rhizotomy of the dorsal sacral roots to abolish neurogenic detrusor overactivity. Stimulation of the sacral anterior roots enables micturition, defecation, and erections. This overview discusses the technique, selection of patients and clinical results of the Brindley procedure. The Brindley procedure is ...
متن کاملNeurology and Uro dynamics RESULTS OF THE TREATMENT OF NEUROGENIC BLADDER DYSFUNCTION IN SPINAL CORD INJURY BY SACRAL POSTERIOR ROOT RHIZOTOMY AND ANTERIOR SACRAL ROOT STIMULATION
Purpose: We evaluated the results of treatment of neurogenic bladder dysfunction in spinal cord injury by sacral posterior root rhizotomy and anterior sacral root stimulation using the Finetech-Brindley stimulator.* Materials and Methods: In 52 patients with spinal cord lesions and urological problems due to hyperreflexia of the bladder complete posterior sacral root rhizotomy was performed and...
