Letter to the editor: permanent deterioration of fine motor skills after the resection of tumors in the supplementary motor area.

This letter to the editor discusses the permanent deterioration of fine motor skills that can occur after the resection of tumors in the supplementary motor area (SMA). While advancements in neurosurgical techniques have allowed for successful tumor removal and targeted interventions, damage to the SMA can lead to persistent difficulties in activities requiring precise coordination and dexterity. Rehabilitation efforts may help individuals adapt and compensate for motor deficits, but complete restoration of preoperative function may not always be possible. The psychological impact of motor skill deterioration should also be addressed to promote holistic well-being. [Extracted from the article]
