Abstract

These urodynamic results show a statistically significant improvement in FSF and MFV in patients with UI with or with no DO after SNM. Although there was a urodynamic and clinical improvement in both groups, patients with UI but no DO are at least as successful as patients with UI and DO. Therefore in patients with UI, DO should not be a prerequisite selection criterion for using SNM.
