A Modified Dura Puncture Procedure to Reduce Brain Shift in Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery: One Institution's Experience.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The therapeutic effect of deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery mainly depends on the accuracy of electrode placement and the reduction in brain shift. Among the standard procedures, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) loss or pneumocephalus caused by dura incision (DI) is thought to be the main reason for brain shift and inaccuracy of electrode placement. In the current study, we described a modified dura puncture (DP) procedure to reduce brain shift and compare it with the general procedure of DBS surgery in terms of electrode placement accuracy.

Materials and methods

We retrospectively analyzed a series of 132 patients who underwent DBS surgery in Wuhan Union Hospital from December 2015 to April 2021. According to the different surgery procedures, patients were classified
