How Sacral Neuromodulation (SNM) is performed
This therapy often begins with a test period to assess response to symptoms. Typically, electrodes are placed near the sacral nerve under image guidance, connected to an external or internal pulse generator for nerve electrical stimulation, and parameters are gradually programmed. If the response is satisfactory, a subcutaneous battery and electrodes can be implanted and controlled long-term. Postoperative monitoring includes wound and voiding diaries, with parameter adjustments as needed. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
