It is known that both bilateral subthalamotomy and bilateral pallidotomy cause neurological complications, so in ablative techniques a bilateral approach to the GPi is not recommended in PD and caution is suggested with the indication of bilateral subthalamotomy. Our group has refined the surgical technique for the ablation of the subthalamic nucleus seeking to reduce the appearance of dyskinesias induced by surgery and obtain a better therapeutic effect, so the approach to the NST in a second surgical procedure in the opposite hemisphere to the one performed previously pallidotomy, would avoid the complications derived from bilateral pallidotomy and can be a safe alternative for patients even when they present symptoms of dyskinesias.
