Event Description
|
During an seeg procedure the mayfield head holder adaptor slowly loosened and then eventually slipped from it's position.This movement caused a significant head shift and caused the surgery to be delayed by 40+ minutes.This delay was because the patient had to be repositioned and re-registered for surgery.At the time of the shift, 5 electrodes had been placed and a total of 8 were going to be placed for the surgery.Two of the electrodes were removed after the shift (due to the mayfield adaptor slowly shifting which was not realized until the accuracy of the entry sites of each trajectory was checked).After the second registration, the procedure continued as planned and all trajectories were finished to completion, including the two electrodes that had previously removed.
