Abstract:
Trauma,iatrogenic injury,and neurological disorders can lead to neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD).However,there are some special causes in women,including radical hysterectomy,mid-urethral suspension,pelvic organ prolapse repair,Fowler syndrome,interstitial cystitis etc.Traditional behavioral therapy,drug treatment and surgeries may work less well in patients with NLUTD and may even lead to progression and deterioration of the diseases.A review of current literatures revealed that there is an increasing evidence on the application of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) in the treatment of NLUTD in female.This review will provide a summary of the known mechanisms of female NLUTD and the effectiveness of SNM.
