ABSTRACT
Should one recommend stereotactic ablation for Parkinson disease, tremor, dystonia, and obsessive compulsive disorder, in this era of DBS? The answer depends on several variables such as the symptoms to treat, the patient's preferences and expectations, the surgeons' competence and preference, the availability of financial means (by government health care, by private insurance), the geographical issues, and not least the current and dominating fashion at that particular time. Both ablation and stimulation can be either used alone or even combined (provided expertise in both of them) to treat various symptoms of movement and mind disorders.
