- Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical technique used to alleviate symptoms in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). It is a reversible procedure and its effect is based on electrical modulation of the nervous system and has considerable advantages in morbidity-mortality when compared to lesion techniques such as thalamotomy and/or pallidotomy. The objective was to evaluate the adverse events during the surgical placement of leads in the subthalamic nucleus for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
