Abstract
A modified technique of electrical pelvic floor stimulation is described in detail. Six patients suffering from detrusor urinary incontinence underwent percutaneous electrode implantation for electrical pelvic floor stimulation. By this procedure adequate muscle contraction was obtained with a significant rise in urethral closure pressure. Detrusor reflex thresholds were increased in 5 of 6 patients at the initial stimulation. Percutaneous implantation appears to be an easy and noninvasive technique. This method provides stable and adequate effects on the pelvic floor structure and may be used in chronic electrical stimulation.
