[Results of percutaneous cervical chordotomy in 35 patients with urologic neoplasms].
Between 1975 und 1985 we performed 281 percutaneous cervical cordotomies in 212 patients among whom there were 35 patients with urological malignancies. We report about the method, localisation of tumour and pain, results and complications. Altogether we can say, that percutaneous cervical cordotomy is an efficacious procedure with an acceptable complication rate in patients with chronic pain from malignant diseases especially in the urological field.
