Introduction
Currently, surgical treatments for spastic paralysis of the limbs caused by cerebral disorders primarily include microsurgical procedures on peripheral nerves of the upper and lower limbs, partial resection of the cervical sympathetic plexus, selective posterior rhizotomy (SPR), tendon lengthening and release, and contralateral C7 nerve root transfer. These procedures offer distinct advantages, including safety, minimal invasiveness, rapid recovery, and marked therapeutic efficacy.
Current surgical treatments for spastic paralysis of the limbs caused by cerebral disorders primarily include microsurgical procedures on peripheral nerves of the upper and lower limbs, partial resection of the cervical sympathetic plexus surrounding the carotid artery, selective posterior rhizotomy (SPR), tendon lengthening and release procedures, and contralateral C7 nerve root transfer.
These procedures have long been widely performed in numerous countries worldwide, including the United States and European nations, offering distinct advantages such as high safety, minimal invasiveness, rapid recovery, marked therapeutic efficacy, and stable long-term outcomes.
