title: [Stereotaxic myelotomy in the treatment of pain syndromes in gynecologic cancer patients].
abstract: The paper is devoted to the problems of pain relief in cancer patients. The authors consider indications for operation, methods and results of stereotaxic myelotomy at the supercervical level of the spinal marrow. Six operations were performed with good results. All the patients were women with recurrences of malignant tumors of the female genital system with the noticeable pain syndromes. Methods of specific therapy by the time of operation were exhausted. Myelotomy was performed by way of high-frequency thermal destruction. Anatomicophysiological fundamentals of surgical intervention were discussed. The authors proposed to extend indications for stereotaxic operations to relieve pain in cancer patients.
