The purpose of this collective review is to examine the use of functional electrical stimulation for incontinence. The Finetech-Brindley bladder system enhances voiding through stimulation via electrodes implanted around the ventral sacral roots. Detrusor hyperreflexia is eliminated through complete dorsal rhizotomy, which results in loss of reflex defecation and reflex erection/reflex lubrication. Consequently, a new system is being devised in which functional electrical stimulation for incontinence in spinal cord injury can be achieved without dorsal rhizotomy.
这篇综述的目的是研究功能性电刺激在治疗尿失禁中的应用。Finetech-Brindley膀胱系统通过植入骶前神经根周围的电极进行刺激来促进排尿。通过完全切断背根神经来消除逼尿肌反射亢进，这会导致反射性排便及反射性勃起/反射性润滑功能丧失。因此，正在设计一种新系统，在脊髓损伤患者尿失禁治疗中，无需切断背根神经即可实现功能性电刺激。
