Objective.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery has increasingly been performed for the treatment of movement disorders and is associated with a wide array of complications.
We aimed to present our experience and discuss strategies to minimize adverse events in light of this contemporary series and others in the literature.
Methods.
A retrospective chart review was conducted to collect data on age, sex, indication, operation date, surgical technique, and perioperative and late complications.
Results.
A total of 181 patients (113 males, 68 females) underwent DBS implantation surgery (359 leads) in the past six years.
Indications and targets were as follows: Parkinson’s disease (STN) (n=159), dystonia (GPi) (n=13), and essential tremor (Vim) (n=9).
Mean age was 55.2 ± 11.7 (range 9–74) years.
Mean follow-up duration was 3.4 ± 1.6 years.
No mortality or permanent morbidity was observed.
Major perioperative complications were confusion (6.6%), intracerebral hemorrhage (2.2%), stroke (1.1%), and seizures (1.1%).
Long-term adverse events included wound (7.2%), mostly infection, and hardware-related (5.5%) complications.
Among several factors, only surgical experience was found to be related with overall complication rates (early period: 31% versus late period: 10%; p=0.001).
Conclusion.
The rates of both early and late complications of DBS surgery are acceptably low and decrease significantly with cumulative experience.
