Sacral nerve stimulation in children is an option for carefully selected patients who have failed other therapies. Our results show that sacral nerve stimulation was effective in the majority of patients with the dysfunctional elimination syndrome. However, longer followup is needed.
Sacral nerve stimulation is effective in the majority of our patients, and should be considered in children with severe dysfunctional elimination syndrome refractory to maximum medical treatment.
Dextranomer/hyaluronic acid injection is associated with a small risk of postoperative ureteral obstruction requiring endoscopic intervention, with an overall incidence of less than 0.7% of patients injected. Patients with voiding dysfunction or neurogenic bladder may be at increased risk. Intervention with temporary ureteral stenting is effective, technically simple and curative.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
