Placement of spinal cord stimulation paddle leads in the thoracic spine using en bloc laminoplasty: A technical note
This technique can provide accurate placement of paddle leads in patients with anatomic constraints or dural scarring that impede percutaneous implantation. Additionally, it offers potential structural advantages over laminectomy by reconstituting posterior stabilization and protection of the paddle leads.
