  • Title: Percutaneous cordotomy. A simplified approach to the management of intractable pain.
    Author: Batzdorf U, Weingarten SM.
    Journal: Calif Med; 1970 Jan; 112(1):21-6. PubMed ID: 4188903.
    Abstract:
    Cordotomy for palliation of intractable pain was simplified by the use of a stereotactic percutaneous technique. The procedure is performed at the high cervical level and has been found to give good results for pain in the upper as well as the lower extremity and the trunk. Respiratory complications are the major hazard, but they may be reduced by careful selection and evaluation of patients.
