Ultrasound, 3D printing aid sacral neuromodulation for neurogenic bladder

For patients with neurogenic bladder and pelvic structural anomalies, sacral neuromodulation (SNM) combined with three-dimensional (3D) printing and ultrasound localization improves the accuracy of SNM placement, reduces surgery time, and eliminates X-ray exposure, according to a study published online Nov. 12 in the Asian Journal of Surgery.
