Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0015293A1] An apparatus and technique for controlling the bladder function of a patient by combined stimulation of the ventral and dorsal sacral roots. An electrode is implanted on the sacral motor nerves while a second electrode is implanted on the sacral sensory nerves, and the nerves are stimulated using quasitrapezoidal pulse trains to selectively activate and void the bladder. The technique makes it unnecessary to perform a dorsal rhizotomy.
