A neurostimulator consists of small electrodes that are placed near the spinal cord. The electrodes help in masking the pain signals sent to the brain. Hence, the patient feels a reduction in pain. Permanent spinal cord stimulator (SCS) without laminectomy is a process that does not involve laminectomy surgery (Removal of lamina). Prior to the SCS implantation without laminectomy, a neurostimulator trial is conducted on the patient. If it proves to be successful, a permanent neurostimulator is placed. This is a minimally invasive surgery done under local anesthesia.
