tractotomy การใช้
- A more radical method used to combat spraying is a surgical procedure called olfactory tractotomy.
- Pulmonary tractotomy is a lung sparing technique.
- Other methods are tractotomy and mesh hepatorrhaphy.
- "' Limbic leucotomy "'is a combination of subcaudate tractotomy and anterior cingulotomy.
- The operation combines stereotactic subcaudate tractotomy and cingulotomy, with up to 14 cryogenic lesions made in the brain.
- A few people underwent the standard pre-frontal leucotomy; the most commonly used operation was subcaudate tractotomy.
- Also, pulmonary tractotomy can preserve healthy pulmonary tissue ( parenchyma ); this naturally is not possible with lung resection.
- However, overall patient outcome is the same with pulmonary tractotomy and lung resection; both are viable surgical treatment options.
- "' Subcaudate tractotomy "'was the most commonly used form of psychosurgery in the UK from the 1960s to the 1990s.
- While olfactory tractotomy is not to be considered lightly, there is one unexpected side effect that owners usually like-the cat becomes more affectionate.
- There are four different psychosurgical techniques that have been in common use in recent years : anterior cingulotomy, subcaudate tractotomy, limbic leucotomy and anterior capsulotomy.
- 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.
- In the early 2000s in "'Spain "'about 24 psychosurgical operations ( capsulotomy, cingulotomy, subcaudate tractotomy, and hypothalamotomy ) a year were being performed.
- The operation was then called stereotactic subcaudate tractotomy and by the mid-1970s, although only used at two neurosurgical units ( which by that time had replaced mental hospitals as the sites for psychosurgical operations ), it accounted for 30 per cent of operations in the United Kingdom.
