electrode on pudendal nerve(s) neuromodulation

[david s.]

Kenneth Peters, M.D., at Beaumont Health Systems in Detroit, has performed 200 procedures of direct implantation of electrode(s) on pudendal nerve(s) for control of urinary, bowel and pain symptoms, via neuromodulation. (His surgical approach is via the buttocks, which differs from the L.I.O.N. procedure, performed in Switzerland by Dr. Possover, that has an abdominal approach to the pudendal nerve and also involves direct electrode implantation on the pudendal nerve.) The pulse generator is implanted in the upper buttock. He reports an 85% success rate in reducing symptoms at least 50%. Some patients (no percentage given in article I read) attain 80%-90% relief. I have contacted Dr. Peters and will report further developments.

Good luck with this, David. I posted the contact info for the Women's Urology Center in another thread but Dr. Peters told me he also sees men in his private office. Here is the contact info:
