Abstract:
The first domestic patient who had received implantation of a stimulator of anterior root of sacral nerve was followed up for 42 months. The result showed that the patient regained control of micturition and absolute continence under electric stimulation. Life quality was improved apparently. No signs of sacral nerve root injury were found. In conclusion, stimulator of anterior root of sacralnerve (SARS) implantation is a safe and effective procedure and can be used in such patient for a long term. A test of the exterior parts of an indigenous stimulator shows that it is comparable to imported ones
