Feasibility of a femoral nerve motor branch for transfer to the pudendal nerve for restoring continence: a cadaveric study

摘要

ObjectNerve transfers are an effective means of restoring control to paralyzed somatic muscle groups and, recently, even denervated detrusor muscle. The authors performed a cadaveric pilot project to examine the feasibility of restoring control to the urethral and anal sphincters using a femoral motor nerve branch to reinnervate the pudendal nerve through a perineal approach.
