SUBTHALAMIC NUCLEUS DEEP BRAIN STIMULATION FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE: EVIDENCE FOR EFFECTIVENESS AND LIMITATIONS FROM 12 YEARS' EXPERIENCE. HONG KONG MEDICAL JOURNAL = XIANGGANG YI XUE ZA ZHI / HONG KONG ACADEMY OF MEDICINE. 2014. DOI: 10.12809/HKMJ144242. SUMMARY: A COHORT OF PATIENTS WITH PARKINSON¿S DISEASE RECEIVED SUBTHALAMIC NUCLEUS DEEP BRAIN STIMULATION FROM (B)(6) 1998 TO (B)(6) 2010. PATIENT ASSESSMENT DATA BEFORE AND AFTER THE OPERATION WERE COLLECTED PROSPECTIVELY. FORTY-ONE PATIENTS (21 MALE AND 20 FEMALE) WITH PARKINSON¿S DISEASE UNDERWENT BILATERAL SUBTHALAMIC NUCLEUS DEEP BRAIN STIMULATION AND WERE FOLLOWED FOR A MEDIAN INTERVAL OF 12 MONTHS. FOR THE WHOLE GROUP, THE MEAN IMPROVEMENTS OF UNIFIED PARKINSON¿S DISEASE RATING SCALE (UPDRS) PARTS II AND III WERE 32.5% AND 31.5%, RESPECTIVELY (P<(><<)>0.001). THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, A MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM WAS GRADUALLY BUILT. THE DEEP BRAIN STIMULATION PROTOCOL EVOLVED AND WAS SUBSTANTIATED BY UPDATED PATIENT SELECTION CRITERIA AND OUTCOME ASSESSMENT, INTEGRATED IMAGING AND NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL TARGETING, REFINEMENT OF SURGICAL TECHNIQUE AS WELL AS THE ACCUMULATION OF EXPERIENCE IN DEEP BRAIN STIMULATION PROGRAMMING. MOST OF THE STRUCTURAL IMPROVEMENT OCCURRED BEFORE MID-2005. PATIENTS RECEIVING THE OPERATION BEFORE (B)(6) 2005 (19 CASES) AND AFTER (22 CASES) WERE COMPARED. THE IMPROVEMENTS IN UPDRS PART III WERE 13.2% AND 55.2%, RESPECTIVELY (P<(><<)>0.001). THERE WERE THREE OPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS (ONE LEAD MIGRATION, ONE CEREBRAL HAEMATOMA, AND ONE INFECTION) IN THE GROUP OPERATED BEFORE 2005. THERE WAS NO OPERATIVE MORTALITY. THE FUNCTIONAL STATE OF PARKINSON¿S DISEASE PATIENTS WITH MOTOR DISABILITIES REFRACTORY TO BEST MEDICAL TREATMENT IMPROVED SIGNIFICANTLY AFTER SUBTHALAMIC NUCLEUS DEEP BRAIN STIMULATION. A DEDICATED MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM BUILDING, REFINED PROTOCOL FOR PATIENT SELECTION AND ASSESSMENT, IMPROVEMENT OF TARGETING METHODS, METICULOUS SURGICAL TECHNIQUE, AND EXPERIENCE IN PROGRAMMING ARE THE KEY FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THE IMPROVED OUTCOME. REPORTED EVENTS: ONE MALE PATIENT WITH DEEP BRAIN STIMULATION (DBS) FOR PARKINSON¿S DISEASE EXPERIENCED AN INFECTION THREE WEEKS AFTER THE DBS OPERATION IN 2001. IT WAS NOTED THAT APART FROM ABSCESS FORMATION IN THE CHEST WALL WHERE THE PULSE GENERATOR WAS IMPLANTED, MRI BRAIN SHOWED CONTRAST ENHANCEMENT AROUND THE DBS ELECTRODES. ALL THE HARDWARE, INCLUDING THE PULSE GENERATOR AND DBS LEADS, WERE REMOVED AND THE PATIENT RECEIVED A COURSE OF ANTIBIOTICS. THE PATIENT RECEIVED DBS AGAIN IN 2006 AND ENJOYED GOOD EFFECT.
