摘要: A small implantable stimulator(s) includes at least two electrodes for delivering electrical stimulation to surrounding tissue. The stimulator provides means of stimulating the prostate with direct current, such as relatively low-level without need external appliances during session. may be configured enough implanted entirely within prostate. Open- and closed-loop systems are disclosed.
