CT-guided Percutaneous Cordotomy
1989Percutaneous cordotomy is a commonly applied and effective procedure among the ablative pain surgeries. As plain X-ray does not permit visualization of the target relative to the electrode the chances of obtaining good results are decreased and the risk of complications are increased. The use of CT has been found to be useful in cordotomy.

Technique of High Cervical Percutaneous Cordotomy
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1973Percutaneous cordotomy offers relief of pain to many patients who would not otherwise be candidates for cordotomy.

Experience with Percutaneous Cordotomy
1975Since FOERSTER (1912) and SPILLER and MARTIN (1912) described and performed the section of the spino-thalamic tract (STT), this method had become a neurosurgical standard procedure in patients suffering from pain not treatable by other means. MULLAN (1965), ROSOMOFF (1965) and HITCHCOCK (1969), developed a simpler semi-stereotactic method, by which ...

1975
The first patient being treated in a new neurosurgical clinic usually does not have a meningioma or an arterial aneurysm. This was also the case in Mannheim, where we had to care first for a 70-year-old man suffering from severe pain in his lower extremities due a rectum carcinoma. He was paraplegic and had lost all control of bladder function.
