Abstract

Sacral nerve stimulation is a young but promising technique in the treatment of chronic voiding dysfunctions. Electrical stimulation of the S3 nerve--using a pacemaker device--is able to treat a wide range of pelvic floor dysfunctions. This article gives a brief review on the indications, mechanisms of action and possible complications of this technique. Furthermore, new evolutions in the domain of sacral nerve modulation are discussed.
