Abstract

Up to 45,000 vagal nerve stimulators (VNS) have been implanted around the world until January 2007. Though the operation is done frequently, complications have rarely been reported. Primary implantation is a secure procedure. Possible complications and side effects can be divided into surgery-related, device-related, and stimulation-dependent. Operative revisions are especially technically fastidious in young children. The following article describes possible problems and their treatment in VNS therapy.
