Atlas of Implantable Therapies for Pain Management
1st Edition., 2011, ISBN: 978-0-387-88566-7
Timothy R. Deer, MD
This atlas is an essential guide for all implanters, from beginners to the most advanced practitioners. The process of implanting and managing spinal cord stimulators, peripheral nerve stimulators, and intrathecal pumps, from the beginning through long-term management, is thoroughly discussed, as are the prevention and management of complications. Extensive photographs and detailed instructions make each segment a great learning event. The Atlas of Implantable Therapies for Pain Management is a “must-have” resource for any physician wishing to improve his or her skills in interventional pain treatment. The author recommends the implanting physician check with the approved indications in his or her country of practice. This book is not intended to promote the off label use of any procedure and is intended to be an educational tool for improved care and outcomes.
