Possible complications of surgery

Even though rare, they can happen
• Complications from anesthesia: although rare, they could happen
• Bleeding: there is always a possibility of accidentally cutting an artery or a vein. In extreme cases, that could result in a stroke
• Infections: any brain surgery has the risk of an infection. This is more true when electrode son or in the brain are used. The longer the electrodes are kep, the more likely an infection could occur.
