Sacral Neuromodulation for Neurogenic Bladder and Bowl Dysfunction: the Experience from One Center in China

Study design, materials and methods Between 2004 and 2013, 23 patients (6 women and 17 men) with single or multiple bladder and/or bowl disorder (mean age 37.26+2.94 years), were treated with a preliminary test SNM. If clinical improvement was at least 50%, the patient underwent a permanent SNM procedure. We evaluated the patients using a bladder diary, a post-void residual volume measurement, Patient Perception of Bladder Condition-scale (PPBC-S) and the Wexner questionnaire scores for constipation before the test phase, during the test phase, and after permanent SNM.
