Sacral stimulation is a well-established therapy for urologic neuromodulation. After the advent of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation, pain surgeons have started to reach this target mostly for pelvic and sacral pain. For those without good surgical experience, sacral foramen puncture, especially S3 and S4, can be a challenge, due to its entry angle and limited C-arm image resolution. In this report, we describe a new technique to utilize sacral navigation using the O-arm approach to guide DRG stimulation implants. We discuss a case of a 53-year-old male patient with refractory coccygodynia, who underwent sacral DRG implantation using neuronavigation. Punctures could be done without the need for multiple attempts to reach the foramen in this patient.
