Sacral Malformations - Implications in Sacral Nerve Stimulation
نویسنده
چکیده
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 between 10% and 58% [8]. A variety of the anatomic malformations are clinically imperceptible. SNS can be difficult or impossible to be performed in these patients with an unknown or undetected malformation of the sacrum [1,3,4].

Sacral nerve stimulation through the retrograde approach has been used for peroneal or irritable bowel syndrome through the retrograde approach. However, several reasons, lead could not be advanced down ward. In this case, anterograde sacral nerve stimulation through the sacral hiatus could be used.

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 کاملSacral chordoma – a report of two cases
Chordoma is a rare, slow growing but locally aggressive malignant tumor derived from primitive notochordal elements, and it is usually found in the sacrococcygeal area. Chordomas are difficult to excise completely because preservation of sacral stability and sacral nerve pathways to the rectum and bladder limit the extent of surgery. The role of adjuvant treatment is uncertain and surgery remai...
