Failure of a Torkildsen shunt after functioning for 50 years.

abstract：:Selective sacral neurectomy was performed in 12 patients with intractable urge incontinence of long duration (mean 12 years) caused by detrusor hyperreflexia. There was great variation in the innervation of the bladder, but resection of an S-3 root or rootlet was carried out in all patients. Six of the patients, who w...
