Effect of the combination pallidotomy-subthalamotomy performed in opposite cerebral hemispheres for the treatment of motor signs in Parkinson's disease
The pallidotomy/subthalamotomy combination showed to be an effective alternative for the treatment of complicated PD, capable of allowing better motor control and a reduction in the dose of L-Dopa with a low rate of complications; it also allows to avoid complications derived from bilateral pallidotomy and subthalamotomy, proving to be a safe alternative for patients even when they present symptoms of dyskinesias.
