Half Burr-Hole Method: A Novel Surgical Technique for Reducing Brain Shift and Improving Electrode Placement Accuracy in Deep-Brain Stimulation

The half burr-hole method effectively minimizes CSF leakage and pneumocephalus during DBS surgery, reducing brain shift and enhancing electrode placement accuracy, and is compatible with standard burr-hole caps for electrode fixation, minimally affecting impedance values.
