Q424
How will I feel after my Rhizotomy surgery?
Rhizotomy
This article deals with Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) rather than the rhizotomy procedures for pain relief ; for those procedures, which have begun to take the name "rhizotomy" in certain instances, see facet rhizotomy and similar.
00
Q424
How will I feel after my Rhizotomy surgery?
Rhizotomy
A rhizotomy ( ) is a term chiefly referring to a neurosurgical procedure that selectively destroys problematic nerve roots in the spinal cord , most often to relieve the symptoms of neuromuscular conditions such as spastic diplegia and other forms of spastic cerebral palsy .
00
Q424
How will I feel after my Rhizotomy surgery?
Rhizotomy
The selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) for spastic cerebral palsy has been the main use of rhizotomy for neurosurgeons specialising in spastic CP since the 1980s; in this surgery, the spasticity-causing nerves are isolated and then targeted and destroyed.
00
Q424
How will I feel after my Rhizotomy surgery?
Rhizotomy
The sensory nerve roots, where spasticity is located, are first separated from the motor ones, and the nerve fibres to be cut are then identified via electromyographic stimulation.
00
Q424
How will I feel after my Rhizotomy surgery?
Rhizotomy
The ones producing spasticity are then selectively lesioned with tiny electrical pulses.
00
Q424
How will I feel after my Rhizotomy surgery?
Rhizotomy
In spasticity, rhizotomy precisely targets and destroys the damaged nerves that don’t receive gamma amino butyric acid , which is the core problem for people with spastic cerebral palsy .
00
Q424
How will I feel after my Rhizotomy surgery?
Rhizotomy
These over-firing, non-GABA-absorbing nerves generate unusual electrical activity during the EMG testing phase in SDR and are thus considered to be the source of the patient's hypertonia ; they are eliminated with the electrical pulses once identified, while the remaining nerves and nerve routes carrying the correct messages remain fully intact and untouched.
00
Q424
How will I feel after my Rhizotomy surgery?
Rhizotomy
This means that the spasticity is permanently dissolved, and that this is done without affecting nervous system sensitivity or function in other areas, because the only nerves destroyed are the over-firing ones responsible for the muscle tightness.
00
Q424
How will I feel after my Rhizotomy surgery?
Rhizotomy
The terms rhizotomy and neurotomy are also increasingly becoming interchangeable in the treatment of chronic back pain from degenerative disc disease .
00
Q424
How will I feel after my Rhizotomy surgery?
Rhizotomy
This is a procedure called a facet rhizotomy and is not a surgical procedure but is instead done on an outpatient basis using a simple probe to apply radiofrequency waves to the impinged pain-causing nerve root lying between the facet joint and the vertebral body.
00
Q424
How will I feel after my Rhizotomy surgery?
Rhizotomy
Such radio frequency nerve lesioning results in five to eight or more months of pain relief before the nerve regenerates and another round of the procedure needs to be performed.
00
Q424
How will I feel after my Rhizotomy surgery?
Rhizotomy
A facet rhizotomy is just one of many different forms of radiofrequency ablation , and its use of the "rhizotomy" name should not be confused with the SDR procedure.
