Two questions would be, where is the best facility to have it done and how long does an individual benefit from the procedure? I truly appreciate any help anyone can give me and my mother. >> Hello Sue, You have come to the right place. I can direct you to my personal story. Although I had what remains today as the very best pallidotomy team and some good results, this shows the bad also. http://www.parkinsonalliance.net/medical/palheit/palheit.htm in addition try: http://neuro-chief- e.mgh.harvard.edu/parkinsonsweb/Main/Surgery/APDANsSp95.html http://neuro-chief-e.mgh.harvard.edu/parkinsonsweb/Main/Surgery/surgical.html http://neuro-chief-e.mgh.harvard.edu/parkinsonsweb/Main/Surgery/Neuro95.html There are also stories of others on the list. I'm sorry, but I must have corrupted my link to them because I keep getting error messages instead of pallidotomy stories. With patience, it might be possible to use my story as a route to them. Good luck and God bless. Regards, WHH 54/18
