Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
OBJECTIVE: To notify neurosurgeons about a modified bayonet forceps that aids application of the vagus nerve stimulating electrode. METHODS: The manufacturer (Codman & Shurtleff, Inc., Raynham, MA) extended the tips of an upward-angled Malis bayonet forceps from 2 mm to 6 mm. RESULTS: The modified bayonet tips, when placed under the vagus nerve, extend well beyond the edge of the usual vagus nerve to easily accept the electrode lead. CONCLUSION: The modified bayonet forceps and depicted wrapping sequence shorten electrode wrapping time. |
