Abstract:Objective: To summarize 14-year experience with sacral neuromodulation (SNM) for lower urinary tract dysfunction at our center. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the patient database at our center to assess the long-term outcome and incidence of adverse events after sacral neuromodulation implantation for lower urinary tract dysfunction between 2002 and 2016. Results: Between May 2002 and Apr. 2016, 69 patients were given a preliminary test SNM. In the test phase, the rate of improvement was 100% (7/7) in overactivity bladder, 66.7% (6/9) in non-obstructive urinary retention and 50.0% (4/8) in interstitial cystitis. In neurogenic bladder patients, the rate of improvement in dysuria (23.1%, 9/39) was significantly lower than in urgency-frequency (54.2%, 13/24), urinary incontinence (64.2%, 12/19), constipation (63.9%, 23/36) and bladder pain (50%, 2/4). At last, an implant was performed on 35 (50.7%) patients. The conversion rate from testing phase to implantation phase was 58.3% (14/24) in non-neurogenic bladder patients and 46.7% (21/45) in neurogenic bladder patients. During the follow-up period (35.8±7.7 months), the long-term success rate was 88.6%. Conclusions: SNM is a minimally invasive procedure with a good long-term outcome to treat lower urinary tract dysfunction.
