| titleOfInvention | Method and apparatus for the treatment of urinary tract dysfunction |
| abstract | The subject invention teaches the use of electrical stimulation of specific sensory nerves to control the filling and/or emptying of the urinary bladder. A wireless, injectable microstimulator (9) is implanted into the soft tissues through which the sensory nerves pass. The sensory nerves supplying the proximal urethra are stimulated by a microstimulator implanted adjacent to the prostatic urethra within the substance of the prostate gland in males, and distal to the bladder neck in females. The activity induced in these nerves causes the spinal cord to generate reflex responses that result in contractions of the detrusor muscle and relaxation of the sphincter, emptying the bladder. |
