Research progress on selective dorsal rhizotomy and related techniques in the treatment of lower limb spasm

Abstract

Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is an effective method for the treatment of lower limb spasm, especially the advancement of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring technology, which can make surgery more and more minimally invasive and accurate. This article reviews the surgical methods, intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring techniques, lower limb function assessment methods, surgical efficacy and postoperative complications of SDR.
