However, delayed recovery after anesthesia, which occurs after taking prolonged general anesthesia for such patients, has been reported less frequently in literature. This report explores the possible causes of postoperative awakening delay in patients undergoing DBS surgery due to general anesthesia and provides a reference for anesthesia management of similar operations in the future.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Case Presentation<\/jats:title><jats:p>Three patients with PD elective underwent DBS surgery. The first patients demonstrated walking disability, gait deficits, unstable posture, limb stiffness, and imbalance. The second demonstrated left limb static tremor, stiffness, and bradykinesia. The third demonstrated bradykinesia, rigidity, walking deficits, and decreased facial expression. These included two males and one female with a mean patient age of 60.7 \u00b1 6.7year, weight of 63.7 \u00b1 11 kg, the height of 163.3 \u00b1 7.6 cm, and preoperative American Society of Anesthesiology rating of 2.3 \u00b1 0.6. The preoperative Glasgow Coma Scale mean score was 15. All patients completed the operation under general anesthesia (the mean anesthesia time was 5.3 \u00b1 1.1 h). The mean operation time was 252 \u00b1 60 min. The mean bleeding volume was 50 ml, and the urine volume was 867 \u00b1 569 ml. However, all the patients showed unconsciousness after 95 \u00b1 22 min after stopping the anesthetic, and the respiratory function was in good condition, but they could not cooperate with anesthesiologists and had no response to the anesthesiologist's instructions. The mean hospital stay was 17 \u00b1 7 days. All patients were discharged uneventfully. The average number of days patients followed up postoperatively was 171 \u00b1 28.5 days. Motor and speech were improved significantly postoperatively in three patients compared with preoperatively. Taking anti-Parkinson medication was markedly reduced. There were no complications during postoperative follow-up.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>To prevent delayed recovery occurring after DBS surgery in Parkinson's disease, it is recommended to take scalp nerve block + general anesthesia to complete the procedure while avoiding general
