The study aims to describe a novel cosmetic implantation technique of internal pulse generators (IPGs) for deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes. ⋯ Although this procedure is a little more time consuming compared with the conventional procedure, it is safe and leads to very good cosmetic results in DBS patients, which has significant benefits from the standpoint of social and work activities.

The objective of this study is to develop a fully implanted, intramuscular, bipolar, myoelectric signal (IM-MES) recording electrode for functional electrical stimulation (FES), prosthetic myoelectric control, and other permanently implantable systems. ⋯ A fully implanted, bipolar intramuscular recording electrode (IM-MES) was developed. Implantation of the IM-MES is straightforward, and almost any muscle can be targeted. Testing has been performed to demonstrate the suitability of the IM-MES electrode for clinical use. Initial clinical applications were successful.
