How does surgery for cerebral palsy work?

  Pediatric cerebral palsy is also known as pediatric cerebral palsy, commonly known as cerebral palsy. There are many causes of cerebral palsy, such as parental smoking, alcoholism, drug abuse, diabetes during pregnancy, hypertensive disorders during pregnancy, fetal growth retardation, intrauterine infection, intrauterine distress, and placental malfunction. In cerebral palsy, the lesions are in the brain and involve the limbs. Generally, children with cerebral palsy will have symptoms such as intellectual deficits, motor impairment, postural abnormalities, visual and hearing impairment, and speech impairment. Once a child has cerebral palsy, if it is not treated effectively in time, it may stay with the child for the rest of his or her life.  What is the effect of surgery for cerebral palsy? At present, the treatment of pediatric cerebral palsy is mainly based on rehabilitation and medication. Rehabilitation therapy includes movement therapy, purposeful identification, in-situ movement, sitting up, walking support, etc., as well as physical therapy such as neuroelectric stimulation therapy and warmth therapy. Pharmacotherapy is administered orally or by injection, in addition to acupuncture, massage, Chinese herbal medicine and other Chinese medical methods. However, in clinical practice, it is found that many patients do not achieve significant improvement after these treatments, instead, they will continue to rebound after a stop, and the effect is not good, so the treatment of cerebral palsy still requires surgery.  At present, some hospitals use minimally invasive surgeries such as peripheral nerve narrowing, selective posterior spinal nerve root dissection and carotid artery epicraniectomy to treat cerebral palsy, which can effectively improve the various symptoms of cerebral palsy patients. Surgery for cerebral palsy can recover the fastest and change the limb shape of the patient, which can shorten the treatment period a lot. Cerebral palsy treatment should be a comprehensive treatment process, surgery is necessary for children with cerebral palsy, and rehabilitation training is indispensable after surgery. Only by combining the two can a child with cerebral palsy recover faster and better.
