cingulotomy การใช้

• Bilateral cingulotomy has also been used in the treatment of chronic refractory pain.
• Adverse effects of capsulotomy and cingulotomy include seizures, fatigue and personality changes.
• Recent technological advances, however, have made bilateral cingulotomy a more precise operation.
• Procedures include neurectomy, cordotomy, dorsal root entry zone lesioning, and cingulotomy.
• Cingulotomy involves cutting nerve fibers in the brain.
• "' Limbic leucotomy "'is a combination of subcaudate tractotomy and anterior cingulotomy.
• These techniques included William Beecher Scoville's anterior capsulotomy, and Hugh Cairn's bilateral cingulotomy.
• The operation combines stereotactic subcaudate tractotomy and cingulotomy, with up to 14 cryogenic lesions made in the brain.
• Cingulotomy was introduced in the 1940s as an alternative to Hugh Cairns in Oxford, and Kenneth Livingston in Oregon.
• Cingulotomy involves cutting the fibers that carry signals directly from the cingulate gyrus to the entorhinal cortex in the brain.
• No operations were performed in England between 1999 and 2009; Frenchay Hospital, Bristol, performed one anterior cingulotomy in 2010.
• Thus, theoretically if bilateral cingulotomy is performed in such patient in the rostral anterior cingulate cortex, better results should be obtained.
• Functional MRI analyses of the anterior cingulate cortex have also led to the introduction of bilateral cingulotomy for the treatment of chronic pain.
• The follow-up of the patients produced contradictory results, which indicated that bilateral cingulotomy is not the optimal treatment for OCD.
• These findings have also been confirmed by stereotactic microelectrode analysis of single cortical neurons in a study, which involved nine patients undergoing bilateral cingulotomy.
• There are four different psychosurgical techniques that have been in common use in recent years : anterior cingulotomy, subcaudate tractotomy, limbic leucotomy and anterior capsulotomy.
• "' Anterior cingulotomy "'was first used by Hugh Cairns in the UK, and developed in the US by H . T . Ballantine jnr.
• Success rates for anterior capsulotomy, anterior cingulotomy, subcaudate tractotomy, and limbic leucotomy in treating depression and OCD have been reported as between 25 and 70 per cent.
• As a last resort, she said, she may decide to undergo a cingulotomy, a form of brain surgery in which fibers deep in the frontal lobe are severed.
• In the early 2000s in "'Spain "'about 24 psychosurgical operations ( capsulotomy, cingulotomy, subcaudate tractotomy, and hypothalamotomy ) a year were being performed.
