A Prospective Analysis of the Use of Intraoperative Neuromonitoring for Mapping the S1 Dorsal Root Ganglion Location to Determine Ideal Lead Positioning and Predict Postoperative Programming.

Published in: Neuromodulation : journal of the International Neuromodulation Society (2020)

This prospective analysis further demonstrates the utility and accuracy of IONM. The use of DRG IONM is reliable for confirming dorsal placement along the S1 DRG, mapping its position, and guiding postoperative programming. The S1 DRG is located at the border of the foramen and canal in most, but not all cases.
