TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Sacroiliac Joint Denervation by Using Simplicity III A1 - Diwan, Sudhir A1 - Davé, Nimish A2 - Diwan, Sudhir A2 - Staats, Peter S. PY - 2015 T2 - Atlas of Pain Medicine Procedures AB - The Simplicity III procedure is a technique to denervate the sacroiliac (SI) joint by creating a thermal “strip” lesion along the sacrum lateral to the S1-S4 neural foramina and medial to SI jointline. The procedure is usually combined with radiofrequency ablation of the ipsilateral L5 primary dorsal ramus. Though multiple methods have been endorsed to denervate the SI joint, the Simplicity III procedure is a convenient and effective alternative for achieving maximal disruption of nociceptive input from the SI joint. The Simplicity III is a rigid tripolar probe with a sharp-tip that creates an adequate strip lesion that is technically easy to perform. Its pre-curved shape closely approximates the curvature of the sacrum, and it does not require an introducer.
