We recommend salvage additional paddle electrode insertion rather than removing both leads during revision SCS. This surgical method increases the possibility of covering the dorsal column (DC) of the spinal cord, is cost effective, and decreases the possibility of failing to cover dorsal column using the paddle electrode during open surgery because the remaining lead's position and stimulation area guide the insertion of the additional paddle lead.
