Abstract

Sacral neuromodulation has become a standard minimally invasive
therapy for refractory urinary urge/frequency and urge incontinence.
Prior to the widespread use of sacral neuromodulation,
augmentation cystoplasty was a standard treatment for refractory
overactive bladder (OAB). The use of sacral neuromodulation following
bladder augmentation has not been previously reported
in the literature. We report 2 cases of successful sacral neuromodulation
in patients with OAB refractory to bladder augmentation.
