Dorsal Root Entry Zone Lesioning for the Treatment of Pain After Brachial Plexus Avulsion Injury: 2-Dimensional Operative Video and Technical Report.

Dorsal root entry zone (DREZ) lesioning is a neurosurgical procedure that disrupts the pathological generation and transmission of nociceptive signaling through the selective lesioning of culprit neurons within the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.
