5 أيامVagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) surgery involves implanting a device that sends electrical impulses to the vagus nerve, a crucial nerve that communicates with various organs in the body. This treatment is widely used for managing epilepsy and treatment-resistant depression. The device operates with a non-rechargeable battery, making it a low-maintenance option for patients.
The primary goal of VNS surgery is to reduce the frequency and intensity of seizures in individuals with epilepsy or to alleviate symptoms of severe depression. This therapy is particularly beneficial for patients who do not respond well to traditional medications or therapies, offering them an improved quality of life.
The VNS device is surgically implanted under the skin of the chest, and a wire is threaded to the vagus nerve in the neck. The device sends regular electrical pulses to stimulate the nerve, which then influences brain activity. The non-rechargeable battery in the device provides consistent energy for these pulses, lasting several years before requiring replacement.

Non-rechargeable batteries are a reliable and user-friendly option for patients undergoing VNS surgery. They eliminate the need for frequent charging, making them ideal for individuals seeking a low-maintenance solution. Additionally, the long-lasting battery ensures that patients experience uninterrupted therapy for an extended period.
Before undergoing VNS surgery, patients undergo thorough evaluations to determine their eligibility. This includes reviewing their medical history, conducting imaging studies, and assessing the severity of their condition. A comprehensive preoperative plan ensures the best possible outcomes for the patient.
VNS surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about one to two hours. The surgeon makes small incisions in the chest and neck to implant the device and connect the wire to the vagus nerve. After the procedure, the settings of the device are adjusted to suit the patient’s needs.
