Patients completed a urodynamic test preoperatively. They completed a 3-day bladder diary, uroflowmetry, and postvoid residual measurement preoperatively and at 6-month intervals postoperatively following SNM insertion. Urinary function, patient-reported outcome measures, and adverse events were assessed.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 36 patients received a permanent SNM implant. The mean duration of follow-up was 25 ± 20 months, with the majority (89%, n = 32) of patients reporting a >50% improvement on bladder diary evaluation. There was a significant increase in void volume (<i>p</i> < 0.001), decrease in postvoid residual (<i>p</i> < 0.001), decrease in voiding frequency (<i>p</i> < 0.001), decrease in incontinence episodes (<i>p</i> = 0.002), and decrease in pad number (<i>p</i> < 0.001). There was no significant difference in peak flow (<i>p</i> = 0.21). There was no significant difference in SNM efficacy between patients with progressive or nonprogressive neurological conditions.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Sacral neuromodulation is a safe and effective therapy for NLUTD in the context of both progressive and nonprogressive neurological conditions. It should be offered more readily to patients with NLUTD as a minimally invasive treatment option with the potential to make clinically meaningful improvements in quality of life.</p>","PeriodicalId":39147,"journal":{"name":"Current Urology","volume":" ","pages":"280-285"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12321483/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49415199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
