AbstractIntraoperative recordings of somatosensory evoked potentials were made in 16 patients undergoing implantation of a dorsal cord stimulation system. Antidromic recordings, obtained by stimulating through the dorsal cord electrode placed in the epidural space and recording over peripheral nerves in the painful region of the body, and much higher signal-to-noise ratios and could be obtained with greater reliability than standard orthodromic recordings. When the placement of the electrode was adjusted to obtain evoked responses in the painful region, paresthesias referred to that region were obtained in virtually every case. Use of this procedure allows implantation and internalization of the electrodes in a single procedure under general anesthesia, and reduces the necessity of subsequent revisions.
