Abstract:
Unplanned migration of a deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrode after accurate placement at the intended target can result in a poor surgical outcome and added cost to the procedure. There are various fixation methods described in the literature. The authors describe the use of a modified burr-hole cover which serves as a simple and cost-effective method of fixation of the DBS lead with excellent results.
