Varies: It really comes down to the specific indication for the procedure. In a properly selected patient with the perfect indications, a rhizotomy can be very successful. The farther away you get from being a perfect candidate for the procedure, the success rate can drop tremendously. Discuss the specifics of your case with your doctor.
