The risk of surgery is a matter of concern, and in fact, the treatment of Parkinson’s disease by a cerebral pacemaker is a microclinic, with less risk. But all operations are risky and require a balance between the patient and the doctor. Brain pacemaker neurostimulation therapy, to be installed through surgery.
First, there is a risk that surgery may lead to intracranial haemorrhage, infections, etc., which are sometimes fatal.
II. Side effects: numbness of limbs, weakness of body, lack of clarity, muscle twitch, etc.
Third, the brain pacemaker has a lifetime and needs to be replaced after a certain period of use, which can cause damage to the organism.
At the same time, because of the need to embed a device in the body, there is a risk of excretion, infection, fracture of the conductor, etc.
According to patient data from the Parkinson Unit of our hospital, there was one case of brain haemorrhage and no other complications. The introduction in recent years of robotic assisted cerebral pacemaker surgery has allowed for vascular reconstruction and perfect protection against the risk of haemorrhage. One advantage of this operation is that it is reversible, and if the patient has an exculpatory and insufferable patient, the electrodes can be removed without prejudice to other treatments.
Pre-operative rigorous assessment, enhanced post-operative effects, risk avoidance
1. The patient is diagnosed with Parkinson ‘ s disease, which is to be identified with such diseases as Parkinson ‘ s syndrome and Parkinson ‘ s superimprisoned syndrome.
2. Collection of medical history, medical examination, neurological examination and laboratory examination;
3. Conducting a left-turned doba shock test to understand the patient ‘ s response to a left doba-type drug; prior to the operation, a left doba shock test is usually conducted by specialized doctors and technicians, and the patient ‘ s video-recorded impact test scores are obtained. (a) The general improvement rate is over 30 per cent for patients with a base of over 30 points, with better surgical adaptation;
Pre-operative information is also required on recent brain images of patients, in particular the MRI, which eliminates the secondary Parkinson syndrome caused by cerebrovascular disease, cerebral infarction, brain atrophy and demyelization;
5. Patients are also required to undergo cognitive and psychiatric examinations and measurements, and only persons with a good cognitive ability can cooperate with a doctor for a long period of time during surgery and after surgery in the treatment of a cerebrocardiologist and a DBS procedure in order to present their situation objectively and honestly;
Mentally, severe anxiety is eliminated and such patients are not eligible for DBS treatment.
In short, the high safety of the brain pacemaker is a very small operation, but it also requires close cooperation between the patient and his/her family with the doctor during the treatment, regular examination and control to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the treatment. At the same time, patients should be aware of the risks and complications of treatment and make informed decisions under the guidance of doctors.
