The option of open electrode placement should be taken into account following unsuccessful percutaneous lead placement. A combination of fibrin sealant patch and fibrin glue may be a good option for stabilization of the lead and specially of the strain relief loops in open placement. Knowledge of basic spinal surgery techniques and experience in percutaneous DRG stimulation is necessary to perform this procedure.
