Abstract
SALVATORE, Mauricio et al. Neuroestimulación medular: Nuestra experiencia. Rev. argent. neurocir. [online]. 2008, vol.22, n.3. ISSN 1850-1532.
Objective: to review and to present our experience about the indications, technique and results with the use of epidural implantable pulse generator in the last 5 years. Description: the clinical reports of 11 patients implanted by our group were reviewed, obtaining data for the analysis of indications, technique employed, complications, average values of stimulation and results. Interventions: all the patients were treated by at least one of the members of the group, in different health centers, with similar techniques. Conclusion: in spite of the low number of cases, we thought that the rigorous selection of patients, the technique employed and the strict follow up contributed directly in the good results obtained.
