To assess the long-term efficacy and safety of two-stage sacral neuromodulation with an implantable pulse generator (IPG) in patients treated for urinary urge incontinence (UI) and/or urinary retention (UR). ⋯ The long-term results of the two-stage implantation show clinically and statistically significant improvements, probably because the implantation of the lead (first stage) more closely resembles the final therapy. If a temporary PNE test is not optimal (lead migration, longer testing needed), the two-stage technique can offer a good and safe alternative of comparable efficacy in the long-term. If the two-stage technique had not been available to these 12 patients they would not have been offered neuromodulation.

Does pericapsular lignocaine reduce pain during transrectal ultrasonography-guided biopsy of the prostate?
To evaluate whether injection with pericapsular lignocaine before transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)-guided biopsy reduces the perceived pain of prostatic biopsy. ⋯ Pericapsular injection with 1% lignocaine significantly reduces the perceived pain of TRUS-guided prostatic biopsy.
