Résumé

PURPOSE: Prospective clinical and urodynamic study evaluating modification of bladder sensation during sacral neuromodulation (SNM). MATERIALS AND METHODS: 24 consecutive patients with non-neurological hyperactive bladder underwent an SNM test. Questioned about their symptoms before and during the test by the urinary handicap assessment scale, patients were divided into two groups: A (improved) and B (not improved). Group A consisted of patients obtaining 50% improvement of their symptoms with SNM followed by return of symptoms at the end of the test, while the other patients constituted group B. We then compared the cystomanometric results according to their clinical response. RESULTS: The mean age was 53 years: 10 patients with a good response constituted group A (n=10, i.e. 42%) and 14 patients with a poor response constituted group B (n=14, i.e. 58%). Clinically, in patients with a good response, SNM decreased urge incontinence by 100%, day-time frequency by 89% and protections by 55%. Urodynamic assessment in group A during the test demonstrated a significant increase of +23% of bladder capacity (p
