- Revision and Replacement of Spinal Cord Stimulator Paddle Leads
Abstract Objectives: Paddle leads for spinal cord stimulation (SCS) offer more efficient energy delivery and advantages in some patients However, there is concern for how safely SCS paddles can be replaced once previously implanted because of scar tissue and the relative vulnerability of the thoracic cord In this study, we share our experience on SCS paddle replacement
- Spinal cord stimulation: Placement and management - UpToDate
This topic will discuss placement of spinal cord stimulators, management of anesthesia for spinal cord stimulator placement, and management of SCS for patients who undergo other surgical procedures It does not address the technique for laminectomy and surgical lead placement, dorsal root ganglion, or peripheral nerve stimulation
- Mitigating Spinal Cord Stimulator Lead Migration . . .
Comparative studies have provided inconclusive evidence to support a superior modality [12], but surgical implantations of paddle leads are more common and the relevant approach for this technical note
- What to Expect From Spinal Cord Stimulator Surgery
Learn more about what to expect when undergoing spinal cord stimulator surgery with this informative article
- Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Back Pain | National . . .
Paddle leads are implanted through more invasive surgeries requiring direct access to the spinal cord Because paddle leads are anchored to the tissue, it is rare for the leads to move
- Reoperation Rates of Percutaneous and Paddle Leads in Spinal . . .
We hypothesize that reoperation rates of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) systems utilizing percutaneous leads are comparable to those utilizing paddle leads We attempt here to characterize causes for those reoperations and identify any related patient characteristics
- Preparing for the Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) Procedure . . .
This video walks through the implant procedure for the ProclaimXR™ Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) System with the paddle lead Learn more about SCS and the Pro
- Patient Education for Spinal Cord Stimulator Placement
This trial serves as a crucial step because it helps both the patient and their healthcare provider determine if a long-term implant of the spinal cord stimulator is a suitable option During the trial, thin wires with electrodes (leads) are placed near the spinal cord and connected to an external generator The trial usually lasts a week
