Abstract
Summary— Between 1976 and 1981, 22 patients underwent selective, complete sacral root section as a treatment for severe detrusor overactivity. Eighteen were followed up for more than 4 years (mean 6.2). Thirteen of the 22 patients had significant symptomatic improvement lasting for more than 4 years post‐operatively (59%), 8 of whom had stable bladders. It was concluded that this operation still has a place in the treatment of detrusor overactivity.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
