Overview[edit | edit source]
Not only urgical intervention is not recommended for the management of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the site of surgery before ALS onset correlates with the region of onset of ALS. Patients with slower disease progression are at an increased risk of undergoing surgery, probably as part of initial difficulty in diagnosis.
Indications[edit | edit source]
