Abstract
|
|
|
Painful neuralgias of the chest and abdominal wall usutaly respond well to root surgery, especially when the radicular level of the lesion is well defined. We could less invasively perform this procedure with percutaneous radiofrequency
thermocoagulation technique instead of more invasive procedure such as laminectomy and thus can treat the pain without significant sideeffects. We did percutaneous radiofrequency thermocoagulation of the dorsal root at the thoracic level to treat
our
three patients with intractable chest and abdominal wall pain. The procedures were performed at the operation room with continuous monitoring of the blcod pressure and electrocardiogram findings, and with the precise x-ray control of the needle
position. The patients are now patin-free and have numbeness of the target dermatome without significant side-effects. The ease and simplicity of this technique may make it useful for treating intractable chronic or cance pain of chest and
abdominal
wall.
