ABSTRACT = {Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) has become a standard 
treatment option for patients suffering from urinary urge 
incontinence, urgency-frequency, and/or nonobstructive 
urinary retention refractory to conservative and 
pharmacologic treatment. Since its initial development, 
the manufacturer of InterStim therapy (Medtronic, 
Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA), has introduced technical 
modifications, while surgeons and researchers have adapted 
and published various innovations and alterations of the 
implantation technique. In this article, we feature our 
SNM technique including patient selection, comprehensive 
dialogue/evaluation, procedure details, and appropriate 
follow up. Although there is often great variability in 
patients with lower urinary tract dysfunction, we maintain 
that great success can be achieved with a systematic and 
methodical approach to SNM.},
