The Indiana University (IU) Pallidotomy Program
provides surgical management for the symptoms of Parkinson's Disease in
patients who are no longer under adequate medical control. All patients
are initially evaluated in the IU Movement Disorder clinic to ensure uniformity
of presurgical qualifying factors.
Those patients felt to be appropriate candidates are then referred for sterotactic posteroventral pallidotomy.
Extensive intraoperative mapping using microelectrode physiological mapping
of the basal ganglia is carried out to maximize odds for improvement and
minimize chance of complication.
