Vagal Nerve Stimulator Battery Replacement / Replacement of Implantable Pulse Generator for Vagus Nerve
The replacement of vagal nerve stimulator (VNS battery replacement) is an easy procedure. The neurostimulator (vagal nerve stimulator - implantable pulse generator) can be replaced during a short, usually outpatient procedure. Since the lead, that was implanted around the vagus nerve and the extension (if there is extension cable) will stay in same place, the procedure to replace your vagus nerve stimulator (implantable pulse generator) is so shorter and easier than your original implantation procedure. We need replace only the implantable pulse generator (battery) which located under your skin (mostly found under your left clavicle) by an easy procedure.
Since the procedure can be done under local anesthesia, the patient can be discharge same day from the hospital and can flight to his/her country on same day.
There are some important points about the replacement of Vagal Nerve Stimulator battery.
1. The Surgical team must be professional and so experienced. Because, the lead may break in the replacement procedure. If it’s break, the whole system must be replaced. It means doing whole the surgery again by very expensive and difficult way.
