PURPOSE: This study is designed to investigate the safety and performance of a new implantable system for tibial nerve stimulation for @entity2182 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: A battery-free stimulation device for tibial nerve stimulation (BlueWind Medical Ltd.) was implanted in 15 @entity1 . Safety and efficacy assessments were done at 3 months after activation with a 3-day bladder diary, a 24-hour padtest and 2 quality-of-life questionnaires. RESULTS: Two males and 13 females were enrolled. Mean age was 54 years (range 19-72). Five/15 @entity1 were previously treated with percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation. Twelve/15 @entity1 experienced urgency urinary @entity322 . The median operation time was 34 minutes. After three months follow-up a significant change was seen in: 24-hour frequency (p=0  002) from 11  8 times/day (  3  5) to 8  1 times/day (  2  0), the amount of severe urinary urgency episodes (p=0  002) from 6  5 times/day (  5  1) to 2  0 (  2  .1), severe @entity322 episodes (p=0  017) from 2  8 (  5  2) episodes/day to 0  3 (  0  4) episodes/day, urinary loss/day (p=0  038) from 243 grams (  388) to 39 grams (  55), and improvement in quality of life. After implantation, 3 @entity1 had a prolonged antibiotic treatment and 3 @entity1 used prolonged @entity158 medication for 1 week. In one @entity1 the device was explanted due to @entity158 and swelling suspicious for @entity281 , although tissue cultures did not reveal a @entity2348 . CONCLUSIONS: This novel posterior tibial nerve stimulator is a safe and easy to implant stimulator with good clinical results.

A new implanted posterior tibial nerve stimulator for the treatment of XXXX , three-months results of a novel therapy in a single center.
