Frameless stereotactic dual lead placement through single burr hole: A technical report. Journal of clinical neuroscience : official journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia Cartmell, S. C., Miller, K. J., Ho, A. L., Halpern, C. H. 2018

Abstract

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery is a neurosurgical procedure involving the placement of stimulatory leads in subcortical structures. Rarely, DBS requires placement of dual ipsilateral leads. Previously, techniques for placing dual ipsilateral leads through a single burr hole were reported using a traditional stereotactic frame. Here, we demonstrate that dual ipsilateral leads can be safely and effectively placed through a single burr hole using a frameless stereotactic DBS system (NexFrame) with only simple modifications to existing equipment.
