Unilateral Cordotomy: A Systematic Review of Efficacy and Outcomes
The Laryngoscope, 2022Glottic obstruction may arise secondary to bilateral vocal fold immobility (BVFI). Treatment options include a tracheostomy to bypass the site of obstruction as well as unilateral transverse cordotomy to alleviate the obstruction.

Practical Management of Complex Cancer Pain, 2022
There is a growing interest in percutaneous cervical cordotomy (PCC) as an effective pain relief procedure in the UK and abroad because of an expected increase in mesothelioma cases and its role in otherwise difficult to control cancer pain in small ...

Combined Transverse Cordotomy‐ Anteromedial Arytenoidectomy for Isolated Glottic Stenosis
The Laryngoscope, 2021Glottic stenosis is a discrete cause of airway compromise. We aimed to determine the surgical outcomes of transverse cordotomy with anteromedial arytenoidectomy (TCAMA), performed in the setting of isolated glottic stenosis resulting from two discrete ...

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1971
The essentials for performing a safe and satisfactory percutaneous cordotomy are: (1) a suitable type of pain in a patient without respiratory hazard, (2) a very fine electrode, (3) contrast visualization of the dentate ligament, (4) electrical stimulation before lesion making, (5) slow increase in strength of the lesion-making current, (6) careful ...

Percutaneous Cordotomy for Pain
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1966Percutaneous cordotomy is a technically safe and simple method of performing spinothalamic tractotomy. It is ideally suited to the patient with normal lung function who has unilateral pain due to cancer. With some modifications and reservations, it may be recommended for patients with bilateral pain or with pain due to nonmalignant disease and for ...
