After dbs bilateral lead placement surgery using starfix bilateral platform, it was noted that the post op ct revealed that on the left side the lead was placed appropriately, however the right side revealed in post op scans that the lead was 2.8 cm deeper than expected.This did not cause a delay in dbs surgery, when the lead was placed.No harm to the patient was caused during the surgery.A revision surgery was completed the following day and released.

Highly probable root cause: (user error) the lead slipped in the depth stop because the depth stop was not tightened when the lead was inserted the second time.
