|---|---|---|
| 1 | Section0 | Medical and Surgical |
| 2 | Body System0 | Central Nervous System and Cranial Nerves |
| 3 | Root OperationP | Removal Taking out or off a device from a body part |
| 4 | Body Part0 | Brain |
| 5 | ApproachX | External |
| 6 | Device0 | Drainage Device |
| 7 | QualifierZ | No Qualifier |
