This is a case report highlighting the technique and tools utilized intraoperatively in higher risk circumstances with a 35-year-old female patient and her medical team requesting explantation with total capsulectomy as a compassionate measure for a perceived contribution towards the patient’s uncontrolled hypertension of unknown etiology [3].
