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 ...

Intractable pain and cordotomy
BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care, 2020I was interested in the national UK data on percutaneous cervical cordotomy for cancer-related pain.1 They affirm it is effective and early referrals should be considered, rather than analgesics which may be suboptimally effective but also have side effects.

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.

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 ...

Congenital bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP) is the second most common cause of stridor in neonates. Etiologies of BVFP include neurologic, cardiopulmonary malformations, iatrogenic, traumatic, and idiopathic. One half of children with BVFP will require a tracheostomy for upper airway obstruction.
