Comparison of direct bladder and sacral nerve stimulation in spinal cats.
Neuroprosthetic techniques have been used to facilitate voiding via electrical stimulation for bladder management following spinal cord injury (SCI), but high urethral resistance has been a problem. This problem was investigated here in the chronic, spinal, male cat (C6-T1) using direct bladder and sacral nerve stimulation. Direct bladder stimulation was only conducted during terminal procedure...
متن کاملSacral Malformations - Implications in Sacral Nerve Stimulation
One of the most important steps of this technique is the correct topographic anatomic identification of the posterior sacral foramina on the body surface of the sacrum [6,7]. Although the sacrum’s anatomy is recognized to be highly variable. In the literature there are several studies regarding the variable morphology of the sacrum that also shows high incidence of sacral malformations, ranging...
متن کاملThe management of overactive bladder: percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation, sacral nerve stimulation, or botulinum toxin?
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We have reviewed the evidence published on botulinum toxin A (BoNT/A), percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS), and sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) in the management of overactive bladder (OAB). RECENT FINDINGS BoNT/A is effective irrespectively of the number of previous anticholinergic treatments and of the reason for failure. Doses up to 360U 3-monthly are well tolerat...
متن کاملCost of neuromodulation therapies for overactive bladder: percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation versus sacral nerve stimulation.
PURPOSE Conservative therapy and antimuscarinic agents are first line therapies for overactive bladder. Patients refractory to treatment are candidates for neuromodulation therapy. We estimated the costs and cost-effectiveness of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation and sacral nerve stimulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A Markov model was constructed to simulate the total costs and effectivenes...
متن کاملBladder inhibition or voiding induced by pudendal nerve stimulation in chronic spinal cord injured cats.
AIMS To investigate pudendal-to-bladder spinal reflexes in chronic spinal cord injured (SCI) cats induced by electrical stimulation of the pudendal nerve. METHODS Bladder inhibition or voiding induced by pudendal nerve stimulation at different frequencies (3 or 20 Hz) was studied in three female, chronic SCI cats under alpha-chloralose anesthesia. RESULTS Voiding induced by a slow infusion ...
