Abstract

Surgical interventions for Parkinson’s disease may be a treatment option in predominantly unilateral symptoms in patients whose symptoms are not adequately managed by other treatment modalities. Eligibility of the patients who are good surgical candidates must be carefully analyzed. General surgical complications as well as post-operative cognitive and mood changes must be assessed.
