Incontinence implant, X-ray
Incontinence implant. Coloured frontal X-ray of the pelvic region of a 61-year-old woman with a sacral nerve stimulator (SNS) implanted in the abdomen (dark lines, centre left and right). SNS delivers an electrical impulse to stimulate the sacral nerve as a treatment for those with bladder control problems. It is thought that the impulse from SNS facilitates communication between the brain and bladder, helping to relieve the symptoms of urinary retention or an over-active bladder. The stimulators are controlled by the device at upper left

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible advancements in medical technology, specifically in the field of urology. The image depicts a colored frontal X-ray of a 61-year-old woman's pelvic region, revealing an innovative solution for bladder control problems - an incontinence implant. At the center left and right of the image, dark lines indicate the presence of a sacral nerve stimulator (SNS) implanted in the woman's abdomen. This electronic device delivers electrical impulses to stimulate her sacral nerve, facilitating communication between her brain and bladder. By doing so, it aims to alleviate symptoms associated with urinary retention or an overactive bladder. The upper left corner reveals another fascinating aspect - a device that controls these stimulators. It is through this technological marvel that treatment can be tailored and adjusted according to individual needs. The photograph not only highlights cutting-edge medical equipment but also emphasizes its impact on patients' lives. For this 61-year-old woman, who has been suffering from bladder control issues, this implant offers hope for symptom relief and improved quality of life. As we delve into the intricacies of human anatomy through false-colored X-rays like these, we gain deeper insights into our own bodies while witnessing remarkable progress in medical science. This print serves as a testament to how innovation continues to push boundaries and transform healthcare for individuals across all ages and backgrounds.
