Résumé

Spinal cord stimulator (SCS) placement has been gaining traction as an approach to modulate pain levels for several different chronic pain conditions. This procedure can be performed via a percutaneous or open approach. Data regarding SCS complications are relatively limited. The purpose of this study was to leverage a large national database to examine outcomes between the percutaneous and open SCS placement approaches. Outcomes in this study include length of stay (LOS), complication rates, reoperation rates, and 1-year readmission rates. Inclusion criteria for the current study is SCS placement between 2015 and 2020, with receipt of an SCS using either a percutaneous approach or an open laminectomy based approach. Encounters included were limited to true SCS placement, such that trial placements were not included in the study. Univariate statistics and multivariable logistic regression was performed to compare outcomes between cohorts. Total SCS case volumes were 9935 between the percutaneous (n = 4477, 45.1%) and open (n = 5458, 54.9%) approach. Patients receiving the percutaneous approach were found to have a mean decrease in LOS of 9.91 hours when compared to those receiving the open approach. The percutaneous approach was significantly associated with the need for reoperation within one year compared to the open approach (odds ratio [OR]: 0.663, p < 0.001), as well as with the need for readmission within 30 days (51.2% vs 40.2%, OR: 0.759, p < 0.001). The open approach, when compared to the percutaneous approach, had a longer mean LOS, lower outpatient discharge rates, and higher odds of experiencing an operative complication in comparison to the percutaneous approach. The percutaneous approach had relatively increased odds of thirty-day readmission, although no significant difference in one-year readmission or removal was demonstrated.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Spinal cord stimulator (SCS) placement has been gaining traction as an approach to modulate pain levels for several different chronic pain conditions. This procedure can be performed via a percutaneous or open approach. Data regarding SCS complications are relatively limited.
OBJECTIVE OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to leverage a large national database to examine outcomes between the percutaneous and open SCS placement approaches. Outcomes in this study include length of stay (LOS), complication rates, reoperation rates, and 1-year readmission rates.
MATERIALS AND METHODS METHODS
Inclusion criteria for the current study is SCS placement between 2015 and 2020, with receipt of an SCS using either a percutaneous approach or an open laminectomy based approach. Encounters included were limited to true SCS placement, such that trial placements were not included in the study. Univariate statistics and multivariable logistic regression was performed to compare outcomes between cohorts.
RESULTS RESULTS
Total SCS case volumes were 9935 between the percutaneous (n = 4477, 45.1%) and open (n = 5458, 54.9%) approach. Patients receiving the percutaneous approach were found to have a mean decrease in LOS of 9.91 hours when compared to those receiving the open approach. The percutaneous approach was significantly associated with the need for reoperation within one year compared to the open approach (odds ratio [OR]: 0.663, p < 0.001), as well as with the need for readmission within 30 days (51.2% vs 40.2%, OR: 0.759, p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
The open approach, when compared to the percutaneous approach, had a longer mean LOS, lower outpatient discharge rates, and higher odds of experiencing an operative complication in comparison to the percutaneous approach. The percutaneous approach had relatively increased odds of thirty-day readmission, although no significant difference in one-year readmission or removal was demonstrated.
