Overview

Retrospective chart review of SNM implantation shows significant urinary improvement in OAB and NGB patients, suggesting broad efficacy.

Key Points

  • This study evaluates the effects of sacral neuromodulation on urinary symptoms in neurogenic and overactive bladder patients.
  • Retrospective chart review of 162 patients who had permanent SNM implantation.
  • Statistical analyses including Wilcoxon rank-sum and chi-squared tests to assess group comparisons.
  • Comparison of pre- and post-implant urinary outcomes using Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
  • Significant reduction in daytime voiding frequency (p<0.001; r=0.76) and nighttime voiding (p<0.001; r=0.89).
  • Incontinence episodes decreased significantly (p<0.001; r=0.93) and daily pad use declined (p<0.001; r=0.90).
  • Post-implant urinary outcomes were similar for neurogenic and overactive bladder patients (p=0.2435).
