title: Percutaneous sciatic somatosensory evoked potential. A comparison to the transcutaneous response.
abstract: Cerebral and spinal evoked potentials were recorded in response to percutaneous stimulation of the sciatic nerve at the inferior gluteal crease. To justify the invasiveness of the procedure, a comparison was made to transcutaneous stimulation of the inferior gluteal nerve at the same level.
