Neurosurgery: Complications of DBS surgery — insights from large databases

27 October 2016








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.

    Risks


    Although deep brain stimulation is generally safe, any type of surgery has the risk of complications. Also, the brain stimulation itself may cause side effects.

    Surgery risks

    Deep brain stimulation involves creating small holes in the skull to implant the electrodes, and surgery to implant the device that contains the batteries under the skin in the chest. Complications of surgery may include:
    • Bleeding in the brain
    • Stroke
    • Infection
    • Breathing problems
    • Nausea
    • Heart problems
    • Seizures

    Possible side effects after surgery

    Side effects associated with deep brain stimulation may include:
    • Seizure
    • Infection
    • Headache
    • Confusion
    • Stroke
    • Hardware complications, such as an eroded lead wire
    • Temporary pain and swelling at the implantation site
    A few weeks after the surgery, the device will be turned on and the process of finding the best settings for you begins. Some settings may cause side effects, but these often improve with further adjustments of your device.

    Possible side effects of stimulation

    • Numbness or tingling sensations
    • Muscle tightness of the face or arm
    • Speech problems
    • Balance problems
    • Lightheadedness
    • Unwanted mood changes, such as mania and depression

  7. Especially when dealing with raw food for example, you want to slowly increase your raw food intake over time and build up your system to handle the changes. If you change your diet to raw foods to fast it will make you feel ill and you don't want that. cheese pizza for diabetic
