The Cordotomy - A surgical procedure in which certain bundles of nerve fibres within the spinal cord are severed.
Cordotomy is carried out to relieve persistent, severe pain that has not responded to other treatment. It is most frequently performed to treat pain occurring in the lower trunk and legs, especially in people who have cancer.
