Neurosurgery: Complications of DBS surgery — insights from large databases

Analysis of data from a large number of deep brain stimulation (DBS) recipients in North America has revealed a higher rate of revisions and removals of DBS leads than was previously reported. Hardware malfunction, lead infection and malpositioning were the most frequent reasons for revision or removal.
