Aims and Objectives
|
Sacral neuromodulation is now standard treatment for patients with OAB, idiopathic retention and fecal incontinence who have failed conservative management. This workshop will briefly review appropriate patient selection but will then focus most of the time on hands on skills to learn appropriate needle and lead placement techniques. Six very experienced experts will work with attendees on lifelike models to teach them how to achieve lead placement efficiently and appropriately. Tips and tricks for getting the best responses will be reviewed.
Learning Objectives - Understand the role of sacral neuromodulation, recognize the latest technological developments, their clinical implications and getting the best outcome with SNM
- Understand the patient selection process and current SNM indications
- Review standard surgical technique for optimal lead placement and gain understanding of choices for recharge versus fixed battery (as well as use in neurological disease)
