Abstract

The laparoscopic implantation of neuromodulation electrodes-the LION procedure-was first described as a rescue procedure in patients with local complications of a Brindley procedure. The objective of this video article is to demonstrate the technique for the laparoscopic implantation of electrodes for bilateral neuromodulation of femoral, sciatic and pudendal nerves and describe our initial experience with two multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. This is a retrospective analysis of two patients with MS and neurogenic detrusor overactivity. A quadripolar electrode was implanted with two poles into the Alcock's canal and the two other laying over the lumbosacral trunk. The other two electrodes were implanted posteriorly to the femoral nerves. At the neuromodulation trial, both patients presented a full recovery of urinary symptoms. One of them found it easier to stand up for transfers and daily activities and the other managed to advance from the wheelchair to the walker and both patients received the permanent implant. At 1-year follow up, urinary results were maintained and 1 patient presented a disease relapse, demanding multiple reprogramming sessions. Our initial observations are encouraging and indicate that the LION procedure seems to produce in MS patients similar results to those observed in patients with spinal cord injury. Patients, however, should be advised that MS is a progressive disease and that the positive effects of neuromodulation can potentially fade with time and that multiple reprogramming sessions might be necessary.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 May 2021.
All research outputs
#7,960,693
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from International Urogynecology Journal & Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
#793
of 2,900 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#88,782
of 279,102 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Urogynecology Journal & Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
#13
of 33 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 67th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,900 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 279,102 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 33 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 60% of its contemporaries.
