Abstract
Fixation of the electrode during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery is an important aspect of the procedure. We have developed an alternative method for securing leads that utilizes a titanium hemoclip and cement. This technique is described, and the rates of complications are compared to conventional methods of securing leads.
