Abstract
Anterolateral spinothalamic tractotomy has been performed on 40 patients at the University of Minnesota Hospitals since Jan. 1, 1937, for relief of pain due to hopeless recurrent carcinoma of the cervix. Some of the clinical features of these cases are reviewed.It has proved to be remarkably effective in the relief of intractable pain. Undesirable side effects and, in particular, loss of urinary control were rarely produced.It is the method of choice in the therapy of intractable pain in recurrent or untreatable carcinoma of the cervix.
