Is it just implanting and living a normal life? Not always!!! Understand here!!

There are some postoperative care steps after the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) electrode implant for the treatment of complex regional pain. 🎥⚡

Did you know that after this surgery you need to carry special identification?

Yes, you need to be prepared for metal detectors at airports and banks, because they will detect the device.

But don't worry, you will receive an identification card similar to a pacemaker card and this does not restrict you in any way. 🏷️

As a neurosurgeon, my responsibility goes beyond the surgical procedure. I want to ensure you know exactly what to expect and how to take care of yourself after surgery.

Therefore, in this video, I will explain the essential care steps after the DRG electrode implantation.

The clearance for physical exercises and more intense activities usually occurs 30 days after surgery, mainly after good healing and suture removal. 🧠

It is important to remember that each patient is unique, and the care steps may vary, but I believe sharing this information can provide valuable insights for everyone.

Additionally, you also need to take care of the area where the battery is placed under the skin.

All this care may seem a lot, but believe me, for pain relief, it is very worth it!
