[The dorsal root entry zone of the spinal cord: the surgical target in the treatment of pain and spasticity].
The large amount of experimental works performed in the 60s and 70s, demonstrating the important role of DREZ in the modulation of the segmental mechanisms of pain and spasticity, drew the author's attention to this site as a possible target for surgery. The anatomical rationale, techniques and results of the procedure, named microsurgical -DREZ-tomy, are developed.
