Abstract
Introduction: Spinal cord stimulation is considered a minor elective procedure. The inherent goal is to provide safe, reliable, effective treatment with mitigation of known potential risk of adverse events.
Areas covered: This is a comprehensive literature review evaluating the most prevalent complications encountered with SCS implantation.
Expert opinion: SCS-related complications are uncommon. The authors offer clinical insight and feel the best practice is to have strategies employed to avoid complications, and we assist clinicians and surgeons in appropriately identifying and treating potential complications. There is a focus on appropriate patient selection, adherence to evidence-based guidelines and best practice recommendations.

The journal serves the device research community by providing a comprehensive body of high-quality information from leading experts, all subject to rigorous peer review. The Expert Review format is specially structured to optimize the value of the information to reader. Comprehensive coverage by each author in a key area of research or clinical practice is augmented by the following sections:
Expert commentary - a personal view on the most effective or promising strategies
Five-year view - a clear perspective of future prospects within a realistic timescale
Key issues - an executive summary cutting to the author''s most critical points
In addition to the Review program, each issue also features Medical Device Profiles - objective assessments of specific devices in development or clinical use to help inform clinical practice. There are also Perspectives - overviews highlighting areas of current debate and controversy, together with reports from the conference scene and invited Editorials.
