    AbstractDorsal root ganglion stimulators (DRGS) have been used to treat patients with neuropathic pain due to multiple etiologies. Typically, DRGS are inserted percutaneously with fluoroscopic guidance epidurally into the neuroforamina over a pathologic dorsal root ganglion. In patients with unfavorable anatomy due to extensive surgical scarring, an open surgical approach has been described in the literature for DRGS placement. We document an alternative open surgical approach for DRGS placement in a patient with recalcitrant post-herpetic neuralgia.Copyright © 2021, Johnson et al.
