Overview
Surgery
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.
- 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. DBS of subthalamic nucleus or globus pallidus interna have a better outcome in comparison to medication only. The most serious complication of this treatment is fatal intracerebral hemorrhage.[1][2][3]
- 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.(66_67_68_69) bilateral pallidotomy can cause permanent pseudobulbar speech and swallowing problems.(67)
- Subthalamotomy:
