Yesterday morning, Dr. Wei Zhongqing, director of the Department of Urology at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, and Dr. Ding Liucheng successfully implanted a miniature bladder pacemaker under the skin of 60-year-old Auntie Wang’s buttocks in just 30 minutes. Thus, Auntie Wang was completely freed from the painful days of urine leakage for more than 10 years. It is understood that this is the third case of bladder pacemaker implanted in the hospital recently. Auntie Wang of Nanjing is 62 years old this year, although retired at home, but can not enjoy a happy life in old age, because she suffers from an unspeakable problem – urinary incontinence, can not do hard work, can not cough loudly, and even walk a little longer, urine will also involuntarily out. 11 years ago, Auntie Wang was diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence, did not get good improvement after the sling surgery, as the symptoms of incontinence gradually aggravated, incontinence 7 to 8 times a day, seriously affecting her daily life and social interaction. One year ago, Auntie Wang was introduced to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University to seek treatment, and the director of the clinic, Wei Zhongqing, diagnosed Auntie Wang as having urge incontinence caused by overactive bladder, and initially adopted drug therapy. This year, although the aunt has improved, but there is often involuntary urine outflow. Some time ago Auntie Wang had an adverse reaction to the medication, itching all over her body, and had to stop taking the medication. After stopping the drug incontinence symptoms are becoming more and more serious, incontinence 10 to 12 times a day, without diapers will not be able to go out. In extreme distress, Auntie Wang once again approached Professor Wei Zhongqing, hoping to have a once-and-for-all solution to her unspeakable problem. In response to Wang’s condition, Professor Wei suggested sacral nerve stimulation therapy, which involves the implantation of a bladder pacemaker in the body. When she first heard about this method, Auntie Wang did not accept it, thinking how a small electrode could cure her stubborn disease for more than ten years. After some patient introduction and communication with Director Wei, Auntie Wang decided to give it a try. Director Wei performed the bladder pacemaker phase I electrode implantation surgery for Auntie Wang, and the minimally invasive and reversible surgery took less than one hour. On the second day after the surgery, she was able to hold her urine for 4 hours, and miraculously, her urinary incontinence disappeared. Seeing such amazing results, Wang Auntie’s face showed a long-lost smile. According to Director Wei Zhongqing: urinary incontinence is particularly common in women, and it is important to figure out the type before treatment and be wary of urgent incontinence done with sling surgery. Bladder pacemaker is mainly suitable for patients with chronic urinary dysfunction, when physical therapy, medication and other conservative treatments can not effectively control the symptoms, or the patient can not tolerate these treatments, that can receive bladder pacemaker treatment.
