SUMMARY: Spastic Cerebral Palsy, A neurological -neurosurgical disease; not Orthopedic; Dr. Warwick Peacock, a Neurosurgeon from South Africa explains how he developed Selective Dorsal Root Section to treat Spastic Cerebral palsy against the resistance of Orthopedists and others in the medical community. He describes the procedure in detail, which is highly successful, if treated early, and diagnosed accurately and gives examples. It has been adopted worldwide. Muscle shortening and bone operations are inferior to the dorsal root sectioning done appropriately. Bladder innervation sparing is possible. An inspiring presentation for all neurosurgeons and physicians in overcoming resistance to well conceived ideas and procedures. A true pleasure to watch; A pioneer in neurosurgery. 45 minutes.  (JIA)
