The aim of this study is to investigate how the bladder wall reacts on different sensor implants. Sensors were implanted in twelve goats. In group 1 (n = 8) real sensors were placed on the peritoneal surface of the bladder dome, between the peritoneum and the muscular layer, and between the cervix and bladder. In group 2 (n = 4), dummy sensors were placed between the mucosal and muscular layers. During follow-up as long as 25 months, urodynamic studies, radiographic control and urine cultures were done. In group 1, sensors placed between the peritoneum and muscular layer gave the best results. In group 2, 11 of the 12 sensors eroded. The authors conclude that implantation of sensors in the bladder wall is feasible. © 1994 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByMartens F, Heesakkers J and Rijkhoff N (2018) Surgical Access for Electrical Stimulation of the Pudendal and Dorsal Genital Nerves in the Overactive Bladder: A ReviewJournal of Urology, VOL. 186, NO. 3, (798-804), Online publication date: 1-Sep-2011.KURSTJENS G, BORAU A, RODRÍGUEZ A, RIJKHOFF N and SINKJÆR T (2018) INTRAOPERATIVE RECORDING OF ELECTRONEUROGRAPHIC SIGNALS FROM CUFF ELECTRODES ON EXTRADURAL SACRAL ROOTS IN SPINAL CORD INJURED PATIENTSJournal of Urology, VOL. 174, NO. 4 Part 1, (1482-1487), Online publication date: 1-Oct-2005.JEZERNIK S, WEN J, RIJKHOFF N, DJURHUUS J and SINKJæR T (2018) ANALYSIS OF BLADDER RELATED NERVE CUFF ELECTRODE RECORDINGS FROM PREGANGLIONIC PELVIC NERVE AND SACRAL ROOTS IN PIGSJournal of Urology, VOL. 163, NO. 4, (1309-1314), Online publication date: 1-Apr-2000.
