Treatment of Parkinson’s disease

Due to the practical application of stereotaxic neurosurgery the operations on deep subcortical-stem structures of the brain earlier impervious for a neurosurgeon became possible. Stereotaxic method provides the exact tool introduction (cannula, electrode, etc.) to the predetermined deeply-located brain structure without danger to damage brain departments vital for a patient.

Stereotaxic operations are used with the purpose of exclusion (destruction) of brain structures or their stimulation without damaging the anatomic integrity.

By using stereotaxic neurosurgery one can perform the whole spectrum of surgical interventions directed to the correction of severe motor disorders such like Parkinson’s disease, generalized muscular dystonia, essential tremor, hyperkinesis of different etiology, as well as such high technological intervention like the implantation of electrodes to deep brain structure and neurostimulator implantation.

Stereotaxic operations are conducted with the purpose to restore or improve pathologically changed brain functions without impact on the reason that has caused this disorder.
