By tracking key indicators (such as symptomatology and urodynamic parameters) over an extended period, we assessed the safety and efficacy of SNM under general anesthesia for the treatment of pediatric NB and identified general patterns of postoperative recovery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Preoperatively, all 61 children exhibited symptoms of urinary frequency, urgency, and incontinence. After permanent SNM implantation, compared to baseline, symptoms of voiding dysfunction, including urinary frequency, incontinence, and urinary retention, were significantly alleviated. Urodynamic parameters, including detrusor pressure during the storage phase, bladder compliance, and maximum bladder capacity, also showed statistically significant improvements (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). Through mid-term follow-up, we modeled postoperative recovery curves using mathematical methods such as restricted cubic splines, and sensitivity analyses confirmed their reliability. Based on these models, subgroup analysis further revealed that the recovery of urinary retention symptoms exhibited different patterns across subgroups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) under general anesthesia is a safe and reliable treatment for pediatric patients.
