Fluoroscopic Spinal Catheter Tip Guidance in Lumboperitoneal Shunting: Mechanistic Basis for Preventing Radicular Pain
Intraoperative fluoroscopy may help prevent postoperative radicular pain by optimizing spinal catheter tip trajectory. This simple, low-dose, and reproducible technique provides a mechanistic and practical solution for preventing this clinically significant complication.
