Temporal Summation Predicts De Novo Contralateral Pain After Cordotomy in Patients With Refractory Cancer Pain

Neurosurgery, 2021
BACKGROUND: Percutaneous cervical cordotomy (PCC), which selectively interrupts ascending nociceptive pathways in the spinal cord, can mitigate severe refractory cancer pain. It has an impressive success rate, with most patients emerging pain-free. Aside

Combined Transverse Cordotomy‐ Anteromedial Arytenoidectomy for Isolated Glottic Stenosis

The Laryngoscope, 2021
Glottic 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 ...

Percutaneous Cordotomy

Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, 1973
As a result of this review, it is possible to establish patterns of motor and sensory response, which, if satisfied, will ensure the safety and effectiveness of lesion production for our equipment and technique. The ideal response at 2 Hz should include contractions of the ipsilateral neck, especially the trapezius, at a threshold of 2–3 mA.
