[Two indications for bilateral neuromodulation].
The authors report two cases of patients presenting with complex voiding disorders treated successfully by bilateral neuromodulation. In the first patient, bilateral neuromodulation (left S2 and right S3) was indicated after failure of a first trial of conventional neuromodulation. In the second case, a complementary electrode in addition to the S3 electrode was placed at S1 to treat nerve root pain associated with urinary symptoms. The preoperative and postoperative findings are reported together with the course and possible explanations for the success of this treatment modality.
