What are side effects from a bilateral, total rhizotomy near the pons?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sensory loss: This is a significant procedure and should be discussed thoroughly with your surgeon. As the nerve roots will be cut or otherwise destroyed, you will have complete numbness in the distribution of those nerves.
