In the field of urology, sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is a well-accepted, second-line, minimally invasive treatment for patients with overactive bladder dry (OABD) or wet (OABW), and for patients with non-obstructive urinary retention (NOUR). Long-term vary between 50-60%. This study examines whether urodynamics can be used as a predictor for successful SNM therapy
