What Are the Surgery Options for OAB?

Sacral neuromodulation (SNS): This involves implanting a small device under the skin near the tailbone that sends electrical signals to the nerves that control the bladder. This can help to reduce the number of times a person needs to urinate and the urgency of the need to urinate.

Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS): This involves placing a small needle electrode into the skin near the ankle and delivering electrical stimulation to the tibial nerve. This can help to improve bladder control and reduce the symptoms of OAB.

Bladder augmentation: This involves surgically enlarging the bladder to increase its capacity. This may be an option for people with severe OAB who have not responded to other treatments.

Bladder neck suspension: This involves surgically repositioning the bladder neck to help prevent urine from leaking out of the bladder. This may be an option for people with stress incontinence, which is the involuntary loss of urine when a person coughs, laughs, or exercises.

Artificial urinary sphincter: This involves implanting a device around the urethra that can be used to control the flow of urine. This may be an option for men with severe incontinence who have not responded to other treatments.
