The second half of the book examines various surgical procedures on structures of the basal ganglia involved in Parkinson's disease. The contributors explain the influence of clinical presentation on selection of a surgical target and discuss the indications and expected results of pallidotomy, chronic cerebral electrical stimulation, and grafting and lesioning procedures. Also included is a chapter on the rationale for subthalamotomy and other surgical targets. The book concludes with a discussion on selection of patients for surgery and clinical outcome.
