The use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) to treat a variety of disorders has expanded and will result in an increasingly larger number of patients and implanted electrodes. Hardware failure can result from malfunction, lead migration, fracture, and infection. Scalp erosion with exposure of underlying hardware can lead to potential infectious complications and is, in itself, a strong indication for explantation of the neurostimulation system. The patient's relief of symptoms after DBS will be limited by hardware-related complications and thus, strategies to revise scalp overlying hardware are important in the widespread application of DBS.
