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 ...

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 ...

A new approach for dorsal cordotomy
The American Journal of Surgery, 1958Abstract 1. 1. In the upper dorsal region the transverse pull of the superficial muscles of the back, the trapezius and rhomboids, results in excessive postoperative pain and occasional wound dehiscence. The use of the figure-of-8 bandage about the shoulders is an unsatisfactory solution to this problem. 2. 2.

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.
