A supervised test phase in sacral neuromodulation with medium-term results after a one-year follow-up Tilborghs S1, Van de Borne S1, Vaganée D1, De Win G1, de Wachter S1 1. Department of Urology, University Hospital Antwerp, Edegem, Belgium KEYWORDS: Neuromodulation, Voiding Dysfunction , Urgency Urinary Incontinence, Prospective Study Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) has proved to be a safe and effective modality for patients with voiding dysfunctions refractory to or intolerant to conservative treatments. These include overactive bladder (OAB), dry and wet, and nonobstructive urinary retention (NOUR) [1]. Currently SNM is a staged procedure involving a “test phase” (first stage) during which the clinical benefits are evaluated and if successful an internal pulse generator (IPG) is implanted (second stage). Although the test phase represents a crucial factor in treatment, optimal duration is not known [2]. This study evaluates whether prolonged test phase with weekly evaluation increases cumulative success rate and related duration of the test to the one-year outcome of implanted patients. Currently it is not known whether patients who are in need for a longer test phase are as successful as those who respond early (the first week) after a one-year follow-up.
