Minimally Invasive Spinal Cord Stimulator Paddle Electrode Placement: Technique and Complications in a Single Surgeon Cohort
We describe a minimally invasive tubular access mediated method, whereby paddle electrodes can be placed successfully with minimal morbidity. We describe any technical issues, provide an accompanying narrated video of an illustrative case, and describe techniques for dealing with paddle migration including the removal of a paddle lead using tubular access.
