A Single-Incision Method for the Removal of Vagus Nerve Stimulators: A Single-Institution Retrospective Review
Vagal nerve stimulators (VNSs) improve seizure control in up to half of the patients who have them implanted. In non-responding patients, VNS removal may be necessary. Removal is traditionally accomplished through two incisions. We present our experience removing VNSs through a single incision. <...
