Countersinking of deep brain stimulator lead anchoring devices reduces the risk of erosion through the scalp and improves cosmesis. This article describes a simple handheld stencil surgical instrument to assist in the countersinking process. It has 2 sides, each of which can be directly drilled through into the skull: one for making a full-thickness circular burr hole and the other for drilling a partial-thickness craniotomy to countersink the base ring of the anchoring device. This easy-to-use instrument speeds the surgery and ensures a tight contour around the base ring.
脑深部刺激器导联固定装置的埋头处理可降低头皮侵蚀风险并改善美观。本文介绍了一种简单的手持模板手术器械，可辅助埋头处理过程。该器械有 2 个面，每个面均可直接钻入颅骨：一个用于制作全层圆形磨钻孔，另一个用于钻取部分厚度颅骨切开术以埋头固定装置的基底环。这种易于使用的器械可加快手术速度，并确保基底环周围的轮廓紧密。
