Sacral Nerve Stimulation Lead Migration through the Sciatic Foramen, Successfully Repositioned

Sacral Nerve Stimulation Through the Sacral Hiatus

Sacral nerve stimulation through the retrograde approach has been used for peroneal or irritable bowel syndrome through the retrograde approach. However, several reasons, lead could not be advanced down ward. In this case, anterograde sacral nerve stimulation through the sacral hiatus could be used. The aim of this report is to present of technique of sacral nerve root stimulation through the s...

Computed tomography of the sacral plexus and sciatic nerve in the greater sciatic foramen.

The sacral plexus forms the sciatic nerve, which leaves the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen. The anatomic boundaries of the greater sciatic foramen and the relation of the sacral plexus and sciatic nerve to the structures within are identified and described on axial computed tomography (CT). The piriform muscle, which passes through the center of the greater sciatic foramen, is a rec...

Sacral nerve stimulation lead implantation using the o-arm

BACKGROUND Sacral neuromodulation operations have usually been performed based on 2D fluoro images. However, sacral nerve stimulation lead implantation may be challenging when the normal anatomy is confused by obesity or congenital anomalies. Thus the surgical navigation and intraoperative imaging methods could be helpful as those same methods have proven to be feasible methods for guiding othe...

A contribution to the anomalous penetration of the sciatic nerve through the greater sciatic foramen.

Here we describe an interesting course of the sciatic nerve. A part of the common peroneal nerve perforated the piriformis and the fibers from the ventral branch of the S3, which were leaving the infrapiriformal foramen joined to it.
