About the Service

Spastic muscle tightness hinders natural movement and motor development, especially in patients with Cerebral Palsy. Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) is a highly precise microsurgical procedure in the spinal cord aimed at radically and permanently reducing this muscle spasticity, giving the patient a golden opportunity for movement and maximizing the benefits of physical therapy.

Features and Goals of the Surgery:

• Precise microsurgical intervention on selective spinal nerve roots.
• Significantly and permanently reducing stiffness and muscle spasticity in the lower extremities.
• Improving the ability to walk and achieve independent or semi-independent movement.
• Preventing or delaying the development of bone and joint deformities caused by chronic spasticity.
