What are the results of minimally invasive surgery for cerebral palsy?

  With the advancement of time and technology, medical technology is improving, and many previously untreatable “stubborn diseases” are gradually being understood or conquered. Cerebral palsy, as one of the more common disorders, has been said to be incurable by most doctors and families in the past, which has disappointed many parents and children. However, in this day and age, medical experts have made great achievements in the treatment of cerebral palsy, helping many children to move forward to a better future.  Causes of cerebral palsy Cerebral palsy is usually characterized by movement disorders and postural abnormalities, accompanied by mental retardation, epilepsy, perceptual disorders, communication disorders, behavioral abnormalities and other abnormalities. There are many causes of cerebral palsy, including prenatal and postnatal factors, as well as poor eating habits and medical history of the mother, which may trigger cerebral palsy. Compared with children of the same age, children with cerebral palsy look lagging behind in terms of physical signs, growth and development, stiff limbs, slow reactions, and not walking in a scissor step, etc. This requires parents to be vigilant in daily life to achieve early detection, early intervention, and early benefit.  Cerebral palsy treatment strategies Cerebral palsy is different from other diseases in the medical field in that its lesions occur in the brain, however, this non-progressive brain injury is generally incurable. The current scientific treatment principle for cerebral palsy is to treat the motor, physical, and speech dysfunctions that occur due to brain damage, and to strive for normalization of function. After comparing various treatment methods, it is concluded that “surgery + rehabilitation” is an ideal treatment for cerebral palsy.  What are the results of minimally invasive surgery for cerebral palsy? Peripheral nerve narrowing, selective posterior spinal nerve rhizotomy, and carotid sympathetic net stripping are some of the common surgical procedures, among which peripheral nerve narrowing is a minimally invasive procedure with significant effect on the treatment of spastic cerebral palsy.
