Core Tip

Core tip: This is the first multicenter retrospective study of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) in China, which can reflect the clinical effects of SNM in the treatment of non-neurogenic, non-obstruction dysuria patients in the past 5 years. Through the study, we can conclude that SNM is effective and safe for patients with non-neurogenic, non-obstructive dysuria showing a poor response to traditional treatment. The duration of continuous stimulation may be positively correlated with the improvement of residual urine.
