Abstract:
Sixty-two cases of thalamic pallidal and subthalamic surgery in Dundee were audited to assess the influence of physiological localisation on the procedure. Methods included microelectrode recording, evoked potential and stimulation techniques. Although anatomical localisation is improving with modern techniques, the physiological information is still modifying the surgery in 67% of cases.
