Percutaneous Cervical Cordotomy
Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, 1976Cordotomy should be reserved for patients with intractable pain resistant to conservative treatment that is not of a dysaesthetic type. The high cervical percutaneous technique permits exploitation of the principles of stereotactic surgery, especially physiological localization of the lesion site.

Percutaneous Cervical Cordotomy
Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, 1974Percutaneous cervical cordotomy provides a nonoperative opportunity to interrupt the lateral spinothalamic pathways in patients with pain who are not good operative risks for an open cordotomy. The technique is relatively simple, but requires some practice. Indications should be the same as for open cordotomy, with critical patient selection.

Pain syndromes that depend on transmission in ascending tracts in the spinal cord, notably the spinothalamic tract, can be treated by ablative procedures, namely cordotomy and myelotomy. This chapter reviews these well-studied, generally reliable, and effective procedures in light of technological improvements and increasing understanding of the ...

Abstract It is logical to assume that targeted destruction of pain pathways will relieve pain. Unfortunately most neuronal pathways have mixed fibres, and destruction of the painfibres involves destruction of useful function such as motor and sensory nerve tissue.

Archives of Surgery, 1929
The term cordotomy, as applied to the operation of that name, although theoretically meaning an incision anywhere into the spinal cord, is now generally considered to refer to an incision which divides the anterolateral fiber tracts. This procedure was devised by Spiller, in 1912, to relieve intractable pain in the legs or lower part of the body, and ...
