Case ReportsActive sacral neuromodulator during pregnancy: a unique case report.
Sacral neuromodulation with an implanted device is used in patients who experience urinary retention and malfunctioning overactive bladder where conservative treatment is not sufficient. The knowledge of its effect on pregnancy is not known. ⋯ Full-term pregnancy was achieved, and a healthy child was delivered by cesarean section. Sacral neuromodulation during pregnancy appears to be safe and may be preferable to intermittent bladder catheterizations that increase the chance of urinary infections.
