Audio:  “It’s believed that sacral nerve stimulation works on a number different levels within the spinal cord – so it’s multi-factorial. And it’s our belief that the electrical stimulation, some how or other, re-regulates or normalizes the abnormality the patients are experiencing, such as urgency and frequency, urgency incontinence, and or non-obstructive urinary retention.”

Audio:  “Best candidates for this particular treatment option would be those patients in whom you’ve performed an appropriate evaluation, identifying that they have a lower urinary tract symptoms that failed good conservative medical management, or other forms of therapy.”
