1. A vertebral stabilization and neuromodulation system comprising:
a vertebral stabilization system comprising:
two fixation rods, wherein the fixation rods are adapted to be secured to vertebral bone by two or more pedicle screws and configured to be bilaterally spaced apart when the fixation rods are secured to the vertebral bone;
a spanning rod adapted to be fixed between the two fixation rods;
two or more pedicle screws; and
a neuromodulation system comprising:
an implantable pulse generator;
at least one electrical lead in operative electrical communication with the implantable pulse generator; and
at least one electrode disposed at a distal end of the at least one electrical lead, wherein the implantable pulse generator is configured to be secured to the spanning rod.
