Additional information was received: it was reported that the scrub nurse was used to using boston scientific extensions where they back the screw our before insertion of the dbs lead.Unfortunately the nurse also backed the screws out for our extensions, enough so they just stayed in place until they were pulled through the neck where they became dislodged.
