Overview

Deep brain stimulation: Deep brain stimulation in the most common surgical treatment of Parkinson disease and is shown to be effective in improving motor function in these patient especially when it’s done bilaterally. Thalamotomy and pallidotomy: Unilateral pallidotomy can reduce dyskinesia, on and off fluctuations, tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia and gait problems but it is not as effective as DBS.

Subthalamotomy: unilateral subthalamotomy is useful in managing PD symptoms.

Indications

  • Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with Parkinson's disease. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with drug complications or sever disease.
