In a method of implanting an electrode of an electronic stimulator device into a pelvic floor muscular structure of a patient, a stimulation lead having a proximal end and a distal end comprising an electrode is provided. The distal end of the stimulation lead is fed along a path, which is adjacent the pubic symphysis of a patient, toward a pelvic floor muscular structure of the patient. The distal end of the stimulation lead is then fed into the pelvic floor muscular structure of the patient. In one embodiment, the pelvic floor muscular structure comprises the external urinary sphincter of the patient. In accordance with other embodiments, the pelvic floor muscular structure comprises one of the external anal sphincter, the levator ani muscle, the puborectalis sling muscle and prostate tissue.
