β¦ Synopsis
There are four anatomical sites at which functional electrical stimulation may be applied to the sacral neural outflow to achieve voiding of urine in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction: the micturition centres of the conus medullaris; the sacral anterior nerve roots; the mixed sacral nerves in their intraspinal, extradural course; and the pelvic nerves. This paper reviews the surgical and physiological advantages and disadvantages of each of these stimulation sites.

## Abstract ## Purpose The efficacy of sacral neuromodulation for treating refractory idiopathic lower urinary tract dysfunction is now well established. Nevertheless, results of this technique in neurological patients are still controversial. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the
The aim of our study was to construct a bladder outlet obstruction nomogram for women with lower urinary tract symptoms. A urodynamic database of 600 consecutive women was reviewed. Bladder outlet obstruction, utilizing strict diagnostic criteria, was diagnosed in 50 (8.3%) patients. A comparison of
