Treatment of Deep Brain Stimulation

Lead Placement

The patient undergoes a CT scan to identify target points for implantation. Using a surgical drill, the surgeon makes a small opening in the skull to insert the leads.

Pulse Generator Placement

The surgeon inserts the neurostimulator under the outer layers of skin, usually just under the collarbone, but sometimes in the chest or abdomen. Then the extension wires are connected to the DBS electrodes and the pulse generator before sewing the skin shut.
