Surgical complications in patients with Parkinson's disease after posteroventral pallidotomy.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the potential operative morbidity in posteroventral pallidotomy (PVP) for patients with Parkinson's disease. METHODS:We designed a retrospective study that included 796 consecutive patients (mean age, 64.9 yr; male, 559; female, 237) with Parkinson's disease. All PVPs (simultaneous bilateral PVP, n = 272; sequential bilateral PVP, n = 88; unilateral PVP, n = 436) were performed during a 7-year period. The total number of operations was 884, and the number of PVP procedures was 1156. In 108 patients, ventral intermediate nucleus thalamotomy was performed simultaneously. RESULTS:The overall complication rate, including temporary problems, was 15.3% of 884 operations. Permanent complications occurred in 3.6% of total operations. Intracranial hemorrhage occurred in 24 operations (2.7%). In seven of them, the patients required craniotomy and hematoma evacuation and sustained a disabling motor deficit (0.8%). Intracranial hemorrhage occurred more often in patients who underwent microelectrode recording and had a history of chronic hypertension. Hemiparesis without intracranial hematoma occurred in 12 operations (1.4%). Microelectrode recording was a risk factor for postoperative hemiparesis without hemorrhage. In 19 operations (2.1%), patients developed a partial visual field deficit. Speech disturbance after surgery was observed in 23 operations (2.6%) but resolved in 17 by 1 week after surgery. In 55 operations (6.2%), patients developed postoperative confusion. This occurred more often in elderly patients and those with advanced disease. In 17 operations (1.9%), patients required observation in the intensive care unit because of postoperative hypotension. CONCLUSION:Complications from stereotactic pallidotomy were not frequent. However, the residual symptoms from complications can be serious in many cases.
