A wide range of movement disorders are treated at Precision Neurosurgery. We bring together a group of world-class specialists with expertise in the assessment and treatment of patients with movement disorders. Ours goal is to set the highest standard of care for the surgical treatment of patients with movement disorders in the Asia-Pacific and Oceana regions. Dr. Richard Bittar is a highly-trained Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgeon. He has extensive international experience in this type of surgery, and has been responsible for a substantial amount of research in this area. The most common procedure performed is deep brain stimulation (DBS), however a range of other procedures are considered when tailoring therapy to each patient’s condition and needs. Parkinson’s disease is the most commonly treated condition, with subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) being the most frequent operation performed. DBS may also be used to treat generalised dystonia and spasmodic torticollis (“wry neck”) in adults and children. Other movement disorders including essential tremor and multiple sclerosis tremor are also frequently amenable to surgery. More information is available on the following conditions: |
