netcare Linksfield Hospital offers advanced Cerebral Dorsal Rhizotomy using modern neurosurgical techniques and internationally accepted treatment protocols. Established in 1991, the COHSASA hospital is located in Johannesburg, South Africa and has 319 beds, providing comprehensive neurological care for local and international patients.

Cerebral Dorsal Rhizotomy is a specialized neurosurgical procedure used in selected patients with severe spasticity, particularly when muscle stiffness and abnormal reflexes significantly affect movement and daily activities. The procedure involves selectively interrupting specific sensory nerve root fibres responsible for excessive muscle tone while preserving nerve pathways that support normal function. Before surgery, specialists evaluate muscle tone, mobility, neurological function, and the patient's overall condition. Intensive physiotherapy and rehabilitation are generally required after the procedure.
