Abstract
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an established and widely used modality in treatment of a variety of chronic pain disorders refractory to conservative treatments. In choosing between two kinds of electrode leads (flat paddles and cylindrical percutaneous), one has to take into account ease of insertion, invasiveness of procedure, familiarity with the approach, stability of the electrode, power requirements, etc. In this chapter, we describe details and rationale for use of percutaneous SCS electrode leads in neurosurgical practice.
