This text investigates the technical protocols and clinical methodologies required for the successful percutaneous implantation of spinal cord stimulators to manage chronic neuropathic pain. The authors, Paul G. Kreis and Scott M. Fishman, leverage their clinical expertise to provide a structured framework for practitioners. By detailing the surgical placement of electrodes and the integration of these devices with conventional pain management, the book establishes a standardized approach for clinicians navigating complex neurological interventions.

Medical professionals frequently cite this work as a foundational technical manual for pain management specialists and neurosurgeons. Experts highlight the clarity of the procedural instructions as a primary asset for clinicians performing these specific implantation techniques.
