Cordotomy

09/01/1976 - "The high percentage of good results and the low rate of complications indicates in the opinion of the author that these methods are worth a trial in such cases, where otherwise only bilateral cordotomy with a much higher incidence of complications may be able to obtain pain relief."
01/01/2020 - "We expect that patients randomized to cordotomy will have a significantly greater reduction in pain intensity than those patients randomized to the control surgical intervention. "
01/01/2018 - "One approach to manage unremitting unilateral malignant pain includes evaluation for cordotomy, which is an approach that has been effective in such cases. "
07/01/2022 - "Surgical cordotomy was pursued, which improved the physical pain and allowed her to re-engage in social and familial roles and meaningful activities. "
01/01/2017 - "DTI metrics are sensitive to the number of ablations as well as early improvement in pain scores after cordotomy. "

01/01/2021 - "Percutaneous cervical cordotomy is an effective treatment for unilateral cancer pain. "
08/12/2023 - "Open thoracic cordotomy is a safe and effective procedure for intractable cancer-related pain. "
01/01/2023 - "Open thoracic cordotomy is a moderate invasive, safe, and effective option for the management of drug-resistant unilateral lower extremity cancer pain in well-selected patients."
01/01/2017 - "Percutaneous cordotomy using the O-Arm is safe and effective in the treatment of intractable oncological pain."
01/01/2020 - "To assess the efficacy of cordotomy for patients with unilateral advanced cancer pain using a controlled clinical trial study design. "

03/01/2016 - "To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of CO2 laser assisted posterior cordotomy for patients with bilateral paralysis of the vocal cord. "
09/01/2021 - "The aim of this study is to analyse outcome of patients with bilateral abductor palsy undergoing unilateral partial arytenoidectomy and unilateral posterior cordotomy in terms of respiration, phonation and risk of aspiration. "
04/01/2016 - "This study prospectively evaluated aerodynamic and acoustic effects of unilateral carbon dioxide laser posterior transverse cordotomy in bilateral vocal fold paralysis patients. "
12/02/2023 - "To assess the outcomes of endoscopic assisted microscopic posterior cordotomy for bilateral abductor vocal fold paralysis (BAVFP) using radiofrequency versus coblation. "
12/02/2023 - "Endoscopic assisted microscopic posterior cordotomy for bilateral abductor vocal fold paralysis using radiofrequency versus coblation."

12/01/2011 - "Modifications to the orginal transverse cordotomy and medial arytenoidectomy techniques continue to be investigated to seek improvement in dyspnea symptoms with minimal decline in voice and/or swallowing function. "
05/01/2010 - "One of the decannulated patients who re-presented with a residual dyspnea after the arytenoidectomy was improved by a further laser cordotomy. "
01/28/2020 - "Endoscopic posterior cordotomy for treatment of dyspnea due to vocal fold immobility."
01/01/2014 - "To assess the efficacy of CO2 laser unilateral posterior cordotomy in cases with bilateral abductor paralysis as regards improvement of dyspnea with preservation of satisfactory voice and swallowing after the operation. "
01/01/2014 - "Unilateral CO2 laser posterior cordotomy is an easy and effective procedure to solve the dyspnea after bilateral vocal fold abductor paralysis without aspiration or significant voice alteration."

10/01/2010 - "If the tumor persists, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are indicated, and cordotomy should be reserved for lesions growing progressively after such second-line treatments."
10/01/2010 - "In the 2 patients with GBM, cordotomy was performed 2 and 3 weeks after a partial tumor resection. "
02/01/2005 - "The results obtained by percutaneous cervical cordotomy (PCC) were analysed in 43 terminally ill cancer patients treated in our institution from 1998 to 2001. "
06/01/1995 - "Safety of unilateral and bilateral percutaneous cervical cordotomy in 80 terminally ill cancer patients."
05/17/1993 - "Two hundred and seventy-three patients underwent percutaneous cervical cordotomy of approximately 4000 cancer patients referred to the Pain Clinic, Royal Brisbane Hospital, a tertiary referral centre, in the years 1979 to 1991. "
