Sacral neuromodulation: sacral anatomy and optimal lead placement

ConclusionsThis video demonstrates how achieving optimal foramen needle placement within the S3 foramen is key to optimal lead placement. Understanding the relationship of the bony landmarks on fluoroscopy to the S3 nerve and foramen, seen in the cadaveric dissections, are important in understanding how to achieve optimal lead placement. This optimization should lead to decreased operating room time, maximization of programming options, and decreased amplitude requirements.
