Abstract
The effect of stimulation of the pelvic floor is analyzed and its evolution is reviewed. Candidate screening and the contraindications to treatment are discussed. Patients [40] were treated for 2-15 mo. Sixteen patients were post-prostatectomy, 4 had stress incontinence, 4 had upper motor neuron lesions, 1 was incontinent after repair of a rectovesical fistula and 15 were post-bladder exstrophy closure. The success rate in the 1st group was 45.4%, in the 2nd group 100%, in the 3rd group 50%, in the 4th group 100% and in the 5th group 27.2%. The results were encouraging since this method was tried on cases resistant to other forms of treatment. No response was expected in the post-exstrophy group.
