To investigate the therapeutic value of sacral neuromodulation in patients with neurogenic disorders in whom conservative treatment options were unsuccessful. Neurogenic disorders may result in various forms of lower urinary tract dysfunction. ⋯ Unilateral chronic sacral neuromodulation using sacral foramen electrodes can be a valuable, but only temporary, treatment for neurogenic bladder dysfunction. The technique of chronic sacral neuromodulation should be refined to achieve the same and lasting results with implantation systems as achieved with preoperative test stimulation.
