Popis: OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate whether patients stratified by age have the same level of benefits after a sacral neuromodulation (SNM) procedure for refractory lower urinary tract dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study comprised 211 patients with refractory lower urinary tract dysfunction who had been treated with SNM and recruited from multiple medical centers across China. Patients were grouped according to age: 64 (n = 59) years. Data were compared using voiding diaries and subjective scores pre-operatively, post-implantation of a stage I tined lead, and during a short-term follow-up period postimplantation of a stage II implanted pulse generator. RESULTS In all groups, voiding diary data and subjective scores improved significantly over different periods. Residual urine improved in the 40-64 and > 64-year-old age groups. Quality of life scores improved in the
