  Review

  [Surgical treatment of Parkinson disease and essential tremor].

  Recognition of the often failing effect of levodopa treatment as Parkinson's disease (PD) progresses has led to the resumption of surgical treatment. In the 1950'ies and 1960'ies pallidotomy and thalamotomy were commonly performed to reduce parkinsonian symptoms, whilst today these permanent lesions are replaced by Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of implanted leads. ⋯ Bilateral stimulation of the STN is often preferred due to the reduction of rigidity, hypokinesia and tremor as well as the significant reduction of dyskinesias and off-periods. The motor functions are significantly improved and stabilized.
