What Is the Role for Pelvic Neurophysiology Testing in Neurourology Practice?

Abstract

Pelvic neurophysiology testing uniquely evaluates the sacral S2-S4 segmental innervation, but most of these tests assess only somatic innervation and not the splanchnic nerves innervating the lower urinary tract, genitalia, and lower bowel. Nevertheless, there are specific situations in which these tests play an important role in evaluating patients with urogenital complaints.
