| Abstract | To determine if the use of intraoperative microelectrode recording (MER) influences the final location of lead implant in deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM), and to evaluate the incidence of associated complications. The usefulness of intraoperative MER in DBS is debated, some centers suggesting it increases complications without additional benefit. We conducted a retrospective chart review of all patients who underwent VIM DBS with MER at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston from June 1, 2009 to October 1, 2013. Initial (MRI determined) and final (intraoperative MER determined) coordinates of implant were compared. To assess incidences of hemorrhagic and infectious complications, we reviewed postoperative CT scans and follow-up notes. Forty-five lead implants on 24 patients were reviewed. The mean age at implantation was 62.42 years (range 18–83). The average duration from diagnosis to surgery was 21.5 years (range 1–52). A statistically significant mean difference was observed in the superior-inferior plane (0.52 ± 0.80 mm inferiorly, p < 0.05) and the anterior-posterior plane (0.45 ± 0.86 mm posteriorly, p < 0.05). A non-statistically significant difference was also observed in the medial-lateral plane (0.02± 0.15 mm, p > 0.05). One patient developed an infectious complication (4.2 %) that required removal of leads; two patients had minimal asymptomatic intra-ventricular bleeding (8.3 %). In our DBS center, intraoperative MER in VIM DBS implant does not seem to have a higher rate of surgical complications compared to historical series not using MER, and might also be useful in determining the final lead location. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
