Does Psychological Disturbance Predict Explantation in Successful Pelvic Neuromodulation Treatment for Bladder Dysfunction? A Short Series

Addressing such disturbances when determining patient eligibility for SNM therapy could reduce the explantation rate after a successful therapeutic response, and is an interesting point of interest for future research into predictors of successful SNM implantation and therapy.
