In midline myelotomy a small mechanical or radiofrequency lesion was made at the centre of the spinal cord at a single segment at the thoracolumbar junction or at C1. This procedure was used for the management of cancer pain in 20 patients, in four of whom it was combined with unilateral cordotomy. Of 14 patients with myelotomy alone at the thoracolumbar junction 10 (71.5%) had satisfactory relief of pain, with no complications or untoward side-effects.
在中线脊髓切开术中，在胸腰段交界处的单个节段或C1水平的脊髓中央制造一个小的机械性或射频性损伤。该手术用于20例癌症疼痛患者的治疗，其中4例患者联合了单侧脊髓切开术。在14例仅在胸腰段交界处行脊髓切开术的患者中，10例（71.5%）疼痛得到满意缓解，且无并发症或不良副作用。
