Great advances were obtained in the treatment of peripheral nerve lesions due to greater knowledge about their physiology and the development of techniques such as microsurgery. The results of electrical stimulation are encouraging and suggest its use as an alternative treatment. Objective: To evaluate, in vivo, the use of electrostimulation (EE) associated with the tubulization technique on the repair of sciatic nerve injury in Wistar rats. Materials and Methods: Ninety male Wistar isogenic rats weighing between 200 and 300 grams were divided into three groups of 30 rats (electrostimulation associated with the tubing technique (EE), tubing suture (ST) and suture(SUT), which were subdivided into three other groups with ten animals according to the evaluation time, with three, six and nine weeks postoperative. Regeneration was assessed by ?walking track? analysis and histological analysis in which determination of the area and number of Schwann cells in the nerve samples. Results: In the functional evaluation, the group that received only one EE with 20 Hz, 3 V for one hour presented a superior result, statistically significant when compared to those stimulated more than once, however when comparing the three different types of treatment at the end of the nine weeks there was statistically significant superiority in the treated with standard suture. Regarding the number of cells, no statistically significant result was found in either group. The findings related to the nerve area, in those submitted to EE at three weeks, when compared to the other groups in the same period, were significant, and in the comparison within the same group, those with suture and tube at six weeks obtained a regenerated nerve with area in a statistically significant way. / Introdu??o: Traumatismos por transec??o de nervo perif?rico s?o comuns e ocorrem, frequentemente, na pr?tica cl?nica, sendo respons?veis por problemas graves como dor, perda de sensibilidade e motricidade, al?m de sequelas permanentes. Grandes avan?os foram obtidos no tratamento das les?es dos nervos perif?ricos, devido ao maior conhecimento sobre sua fisiologia e ao desenvolvimento de t?cnicas como a microcirurgia. Os resultados da estimula??o el?trica s?o encorajadores e sugerem seu uso como alternativa de tratamento. Objetivo: Avaliar, in vivo, o uso da eletroestimula??o (EE) associada ? t?cnica de tubuliza??o sobre o reparo de les?o de nervo ci?tico, em ratos Wistar. Materiais e m?todos: Noventa ratos isog?nicos da ra?a Wistar, machos, adultos, pesando entre 200 e 300 gramas de massa corporal, foram divididos em tr?s grupos de 30 ratos (eletroestimula??o associada ? t?cnica de tubuliza??o (EE), sutura com tubuliza??o (ST) e sutura padr?o (SUT). Os tr?s grupos foram ainda subdivididos em tr?s grupos com 10 animais, de acordo com o tempo de avalia??o (tr?s, seis e nove semanas de p?s-operat?rio). A regenera??o foi avaliada atrav?s da an?lise da marcha e an?lise histol?gica, em que houve a determina??o da ?rea e do n?mero de c?lulas de Schwann nas amostras de nervo. Resultados: Na avalia??o funcional, o grupo que recebeu somente uma EE com 20 Hz e 3V por uma hora apresentou um resultado superior se comparado com os estimulados mais de uma vez. Entretanto, ao se comparar os tr?s diferentes tipos de tratamento ao final das nove semanas, os ratos com sutura padr?o apresentaram resultados melhores. Com rela??o ao n?mero de c?lulas, n?o foi encontrado resultado estatisticamente significativo em nenhum dos grupos. Em rela??o aos achados relacionados ? ?rea do nervo, naqueles submetidos ? EE com tr?s semanas, quando comparados aos outros grupos no mesmo per?odo, houve signific?ncia, sendo que na compara??o dentro do mesmo grupo, aqueles com sutura e tubo com seis semanas, obtiveram um nervo regenerado com ?rea maior.

The urinary incontinence is one more common and difficult to treat postoperative complications, which causes a negative impact on quality of life of the individual prostatectomy . The surface electrical nerve stimulation involves the transmission of electrical impulses from an external stimulator for peripheral nerve through surface electrodes attached to skin. It is an easy and efficient technique, widely used for pain relief, rehabilitation and muscle strengthening. Objective: To analyze the effect of T10-L2 percutaneous electrical stimulation, in individuals with urinary incontinence who underwent radical prostatectomy by the laparoscopic technique. Methods: Six patients had previously undergone radical prostatectomy were submitted to 20 sections of surface electrical stimulation with frequency of 4 Hz, pulse width of 1ms during 20 minutes. All subjects fillid a quality of life - International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire- Short FormI - ICIQ-SF questionnaire evaluating. Results: Results showed reduction in the use of the number of pads, number of leaks before and after treatment, and reduced voiding frequency and consequent improvement in quality of life. No side effects were reported. Conclusion: Percutanous electrical stimulation in T10-L2 may be an effective technique to treat urinary incontinence (UI) after radical prostatectomy video laparoscopy / Introdu??o: A prostatectomia radical ? o tratamento mais adotado atualmente ao se detectar c?ncer de pr?stata, sendo a incontin?ncia urin?ria uma das complica??es p?soperat?rias mais comun, causando impacto negativo na qualidade de vida do individuo prostatectomizado. A estimula??o el?trica nervosa de superf?cie envolve a transmiss?o de impulsos el?tricos de um estimulador externo para o sistema nervoso perif?rico, atrav?s de eletrodos aderidos a pele sendo uma t?cnica simples e eficiente, muito utilizada para o al?vio da dor, reeduca??o e fortalecimento muscular. Objetivo: Analisar o efeito da eletroestimula??o percut?nea em T10-L2, em indiv?duos com incontin?ncia urin?ria, submetidos a prostatectomia radical pela t?cnica de videolaparoscopia. M?todos: Seis pacientes previamente submetidos a prostatectomia radical realizaram 20 atendimentos de eletroestimula??o de superf?cie a n?vel de T10-L2, com frequ?ncia de 4 Hz, largura de pulso de 1ms durante 20 minutos. Todos os sujeitos preencheram o question?rio de avalia??o da qualidade de vida - International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire- Short FormI ICIQ-SF. Resultados: Os resultados mostraram redu??o do uso do n?mero de protetores, de perdas urin?rias, antes e depois do tratamento, al?m da diminui??o da frequ?ncia miccional e consequente melhora da qualidade de vida. Nenhum efeito colateral foi registrado. Conclus?o: A eletroestimula??o de superf?cie a n?vel de T10-L2 pode ser uma t?cnica eficaz no tratamento da incontin?ncia urin?ria (IU) p?s prostatectomia radical por video laparoscopia
