Maximal electrical stimulation by intravaginal or intra-anal electrodes was used for treatment of 75 patients with complaints of urgency and/or urge incontinence. The patient group consisted of 51 women and 24 men. A neurogenic background was present in 30 of the women who had a diagnosis of multipl
Five female mongrel dogs were used in an acute animal experiment. Under general anesthesia two monopolar wire electrodes armed with needles on either side were implanted into the bladder wall, the leads of both electrodes were then pulled through the abdominal wall. Filling of the bladder and intrav
