Abstract

Overactive bladder is a medical condition that requires management. If left untreated, it may severely affect quality of life. When first- and second-line treatments fail, sacral neuromodulation can be a safe and effective option for patients with refractory overactive bladder. This article reviews the rechargeable sacral neuromodulation (Axonics).

Keywords: fecal incontinence; frequency; overactive bladder; rechargeable sacral neuromodulation; urge urinary incontinence.
