Percutaneous Radiofrequency Cervical Cordotomy: Technique

Abstract: Credit for the conception of percutaneous cordotomy belongs to N[ullan and his associates of Chicago. 2 However, their technique utilizes a radioactive-tipped needle, and, since isotopic needles are not generally available, the method cannot be used by all neurosurgeons. It is important that a method be available which could be applicable in any neurosurgical unit, since the percutaneous approach is the most acceptable procedure yet to be developed. It is simple to perform, it is well tolerated by the patient,… Show more

“…[81][82][83] This procedure interrupts the spinothalamic tract at C1/2, causing a contralateral loss of pain perception below the level of the lesion. 84 This is a highly skilled procedure which is currently only available in three UK centres. In Portsmouth it is current practice to refer patients for cordotomy on the same day as opiates are first prescribed.…”

“…A participação da enfermeira na efetividade desse tratamento tem sido imprescindível, razão pela qual a autora resolveu relatar a experiência, pouco freqüente em trabalhos publicados em nosso meio. Em 1911, realizou-se a primeira cordotomia a céu aberto para o tratamento de dor no homem (11,12) . Em 1963, Mullan (11) simplificou o método, introduzindo a cordotomia cervical percutânea, usando agulha com ponta de estrôncio próxima à região ântero-lateral da medula espinhal.…”
