Official Title: Comparison of the Electric Plasma Surgical Tool "PlasmaBlade" for Replacement of the Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Devices With Conventional Surgery
Brief Summary:
The deep brain stimulation is surgical technique used for the Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, epilepsy, and psychiatric diseases.A pulse generator or battery (implanted pulse generator, IPG) is a need for replacement every few years.In general, electric cautery(BOVIE), which is commonly used in surgery, cannot be used when the deep brain stimulation machine is inserted, so conventional tools such as scissors and knives are used for replacement surgery.However, in the process, damage to the…
