The SDR Surgery Process

Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) surgery is a complex procedure aimed at relieving spasticity in individuals with cerebral palsy and other related conditions. During the surgery, our highly skilled surgeons will identify and selectively sever problematic nerve roots in the spinal cord to reduce muscle stiffness and improve movement control.

After the SDR surgery, you will be closely monitored in the hospital's recovery unit. Our multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurses, and physical therapists, will work together to ensure your comfort and safety during this critical phase. Pain management, wound care, and early mobilization will be prioritized to facilitate your recovery process.

Your post-operative care plan will be tailored to your specific needs to promote optimal healing and rehabilitation.
