Sacral neuromodulation provides a new option for the management of voiding dysfunction. For patients with intractable urge-incontinence, interstitial cystitis and non-obstructive urinary retention, this procedure has resulted in significant improvement in urinary frequency, voided volume and pelvic pain. We provide a review of the current literature on sacral neuromodulation and the West Virginia University experience with this procedure.
