Deep brain stimulation (DBS) lead can be implanted safely and with accuracy using intraoperative “O-arm”.
Intraoperative “O-arm” provides three dimensional accuracy and can be used in selected patients.
Frequent use of this imaging modality is required to master the nuances associated with this technology in the operating room.
Randomized controlled studies are required to validate the efficacy of intraoperative “O arm” during DBS surgery.
