Selective dorsal rhizotomy from indication to rehabilitation: a worldwide survey
This survey demonstrated many similarities in several aspects of the SDR procedure in centers performing SDR worldwide, while considerable variability was also seen. The results emphasize the need for standardized reporting of SDR procedures and outcome measures to enable international comparative studies. A Delphi procedure could be a first step to reaching a consensus on outcome measurements, which may lead to a consensus regarding the most suitable candidates, surgical techniques, and rehabilitation programs to improve functional outcomes.
