“…The instrument is inserted gradually, i.e., every downward movement is to be followed by a pause to allow correction of the spinal cord, which can also be aided by a short backward movement of the probe (threading of the probe) [10]. The use of this method, which modifies the original percutaneous operation on the spinal cord [3,4], makes the procedure more accurate.…”

The present study demonstrates the following points. (1) The possibility of a practical application of a statistical model of the spinal cord obtained by measuring a significant amount of human material and by processing the measurements by means of mathematical methods. (2) It is possible to apply the calculated numerical data grouped in the tables directly to operations in accessible structures of the spinal cord. (3) In order to perform a spinal cord operation on the desired structure, it is sufficient to measure one datum, i.e., half-transverse diameter in the appropriate segments. (4) Possible utilization of modern calculation techniques in additional research in anatomy is described.

“…1) is done under fluoroscopic control [8,10,12,15,17]. It is necessary to have fluorosco py with image intensifier adjusted so both AP and lateral views can be seen without moving the supine patient.…”

“…Indications for percutaneous cervical cordotomy are essentially those for open cordotomy [8,10,12], There are two groups of candidates for the procedure. Patients who have severe pain due to malignancy may be considered for percutaneous cervical cordotomy if specific methods of treatment have been exhausted, if the pain is too severe to be controlled by acceptable doses of narcotics, and if the pain is in an area of the body which can be made analgesic by cordotomy.…”
