AbstractA percutaneous technique is described for implanting a dorsal or ventral column stimulator for pain control with minimal surgical trauma. If the patient does not respond to percutaneous on-surface spinal stimulation, a percutaneous cordotomy can be carried out, as the needle is already in the correct position. Stimulation of the cord at the C1-2 level can be used for treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.
