Abstract

This chapter discusses the management of neurogenic bladder with electrical stimulation. This is not a new technique but an old one around since the 1950's which was reintroduced in 1986 by Kaplan and his associates. The authors discuss the outcomes of intravesical bladder stimulation as well as newer techniques of stimulation utilizing peripheral stimulation as well as direct S3 stimulation. The outcomes of these techniques and their virtues and foibles are discussed completing the main thrust of this contribution.
