Putnema Cordotomy

Putnema cordotomy is a surgical procedure proposed by American neurologist James Jackson Putnam (1894-1975).

The procedure involves cutting the dorsal roots of the spinal cord to relieve spasticity and pain associated with diseases such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis and the effects of spinal cord injuries.

Putnam first performed this operation in 1934. The idea was that cutting the sensory nerve fibers that run from the muscles to the spinal cord could reduce spasticity without affecting motor function.

Although this procedure sometimes relieved symptoms, its effectiveness and safety remained controversial. With the development of new treatment methods, such as the use of baclofen, Putnam cordotomy is used less and less. However, this operation played an important role in the history of neurosurgery.



Patnema Khodosmakhia

James Putnam (or James Putney Hodosmakhia, English James Putnam (Horosmia)) was a famous American neurologist and professor of neurosurgery at Harvard Medical School. He is the author of many books and articles on surgery of the brain, nervous system and spinal diseases.

Patnemu Hordotoma was a pioneering neurosurgeon who conducted research and developed new techniques to treat various diseases of the central nervous system. In particular, he worked on laser cutting technology (Laserspectrophotometry) and the creation of a new type of vascular scar.

One of the most famous Python Chordomatomy techniques is laser technology. It is a process where a thin needle is inserted into a blood vessel through the client's scalp. The laser radiation is then focused on the walls of the vessel, causing their destruction. This results in the formation of a regular scar that can be used to fix or fuse hard tissues in the body. This technique was developed in the 90s and was one of the first to spread the neurosurgical use of lasers in brain surgery.

In addition to its research and development,
