Long-Term Efficacy of Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation for Different Types of Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction in Children

Abstract

Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation is reliable and effective for nonneurogenic, refractory lower urinary tract dysfunction in children. Efficacy seems better in dysfunctional voiding than in overactive bladder cases. There is evidence that percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation should be part of the pediatric urology armamentarium when treating functional incontinence.
