[Initial experiences with neuromodulation as treatment for incontinence and micturition disorders in The Netherlands].
Neuromodulation is a new treatment modality for disturbances of bladder function. By stimulation of a sacral nerve the pelvic floor is activated, thus affecting the reflex arcs which control micturition and continence. Along with 2 case histories the methods of the preoperative percutaneous test stimulation and the implantation of stimulator and electrode are described.
