When the position of guide wire was in posterior epidural space by fluoroscopy, bilateral octapolar lead was inserted and advanced up to superior endplate of T11, which covers posterior epidural space from T12 to T11 (Fig. 2).
The changes of right (green) and left (yellow) side leg girth at the upper thigh (A) before and after spinal cord stimulation (SCS). The changes of right (green) and left (yellow) side leg girth at the lower calf (B) before and after SCS.
