Abstract:

The low urinary tract dysfunction is mainly presented with frequent micturition, urgent micturition, urinary incontinence, dysuria, and urinary retention, etc. Traditional conservative treatments of neurogenic low urinary tract dysfunction can not always obtain favorable efficacy. The cure rate of surgeries is low with many complications. In recent years, with the clinical application of biofeedback electrical stimulation therapy, satisfactory efficacy has been achieved for the treatment of urinary incontinence, bladder excessive activity, and symptoms of low urinary tract. This is an efficient method for urologists. This paper reviews advances in applying intravesical electrical stimulation therapy to the treatment of low urinary tract dysfunction.

Key words: intravesical electrical stimulation, low urinary tract dysfunction, neurogenic bladder
