Deep brain stimulation for the treatment of Parkinson's disease has unique surgical stages
and anesthesia needs. In the first stage the electrodes are inserted in the targeted brain
areas and in the second stage the pulse generator is implanted. The technique for
establishing sedation and analgesia for functional neurosurgery may differ among
institutions. In this study it was aimed to investigate our anesthesia methods,
intra-operative adverse events in the first stage of deep brain stimulation and the post
operative pain therapy of the patients.
