Less is more - Retrospective analysis of the two-incision implantation technique for hypoglossal nerve stimulation and comparison of respiratory sensing lead curves against the thr... by Nikhil Thakur, Valentin Krüger, Marcus Czabanka, Johanna Quick-Weller

“…The classical implantation technique requires three incisions: submental to place the stimulating-electrode on terminal branches of the hypoglossal-nerve, sub-clavicular to place the impulse generator, and on the lateral chest-wall to place a breathing-sensor lead. A two-incision-technique has been propagated and widely adopted whereby the respiratory-sensing-lead is placed deeper to the IPG-pocket. …”
