Problems solved by technology

Such an approach has many disadvantages
Firstly, the procedure is highly invasive and results in prolonged immobility for the patient, as well as a risk of surgical infection, which is exacerbated by performing surgery in the hip area
Also, it may be difficult to locate the pudendal nerve in the surgical field through the gluteal approach
Furthermore, such operations are not always successful
In particular, the electrodes may come off or cause damage to the nerves, requiring removal and / or replacement surgery

Embodiment Construction

[0042] Various embodiments of the present invention provide devices, systems and methods for initiating and / or controlling voiding in patients who have lost the ability to void voluntarily due to neurogenic bladder or other related conditions. Many embodiments provide devices, systems and methods for electrical stimulation of the urethra, including direct stimulation of the external urethral sphincter (EUS) and bladder to initiate and control voiding. Certain embodiments provide catheters, leads, or other devices for stimulating the EUS and the bladder to initiate and control voiding and systems and methods for positioning the leads in or near such tissue using a urethral approach. In use, such embodiments provide new minimally invasive devices and methods for positioning stimulation leads to control urination in uncontrollable patients while minimizing risks and complications from invasive procedures. Related embodiments provide methods for positioning such a catheter or lead...

Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide apparatus, systems and methods for stimulating tissue in the urinary tract to initiate or facilitate urination. One embodiment provides an external urinary sphincter stimulation (EUSS) catheter for stimulating the external urinary sphincter (EUS), where the EUSS catheter includes nerve stimulation electrodes (NSES) for delivering current to nerves within or around the EUS in order to relax the EUS prior to urination. Other embodiments provide a system for stimulating the EUS including the EUSS catheter and a controller operatively coupled to the EUSS catheter, where the controller includes a pulse generator for delivering current to the NSES. Other embodiments provide methods for positioning the EUSS catheter in the patient's body including in the EUS using a urethral approach. Embodiments of the invention are particularly useful for initiating and/or controlling urination for patients who have lost the ability to voluntarily urinate due to neurogenic bladder dysfunction.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 754,433, filed November 1, 2018, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes. Background technique [0003] 1. Field of invention . The present invention relates to systems and methods for treating patients who have lost voluntary control of one or more bodily functions, such as urination, due to spinal cord injury or other neurological disorders. More specifically, embodiments of the invention relate to systems and methods for treating such patients by electrically stimulating one or more tissue sites associated with voiding continence. Still more specifically, embodiments relate to systems and methods for treating such patients by electrically stimulating the external urinary sphincter. [0004] Nerves and other nervous tissue in the body control how the bladder stores and empties urine....
