PFD Week 2016-Peripheral Nerve Evaluation for Sacral Neuromodulation

Peripheral Nerve Evaluation for Sacral Neuromodulation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video provides an overview of peripheral nerve evaluation (P&E), a component of sacral neuromodulation treatment. The video explains the background and purpose of P&E, as well as the equipment needed and the procedure itself. Sacral neuromodulation involves stimulating the sacral nerve plexus to regulate bladder function. The P&E process involves a test phase to locate and assess the integrity of the sacral nerves. Patient positioning, needle placement, test stimulation, and lead wire placement are important elements of P&E. The video emphasizes the importance of patient education and activity limitations for successful treatment.
