Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

🔬How Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is Performed

• 1Pre-operative assessment — blood work, ECG, imaging, and fitness for local/general anesthesia
• 2Administration of local/general anesthesia by the anaesthesia team
• 3Surgical access — incisions or ports created based on open or minimally invasive approach
• 4Core procedure: Implantation of electrodes in specific brain regions to deliver electrical impulses, used to treat movement disorders like Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia.
• 5Haemostasis, drain placement if needed, and systematic closure of surgical layers
• 6Transfer to recovery room for anaesthesia reversal and vital-sign monitoring
