✦ Synopsis
A woman, aged 49, had a complete sensory and motor deficit of the S2-5 segments with urinary and fecal incontinence due to a neurinoma of the cauda. A Caldwell electrode was implanted surgically into the muscles of the pelvic floor in April 1974. The patient was observed for 2 years thereafter and had an excellent result. The medical and technical problems of treating urinary and fecal incontinence due to a lower motor neuron lesion of S2-5 can be handled satisfactorily with an implanted electrode.
