Implication

Case series demonstrates marked pain reduction without complications using O-arm guidance during percutaneous cordotomy in cancer pain, indicating the utility of portable intraoperative tomography.

Key Points

To evaluate the feasibility and utility of the portable O-arm Imaging System for guiding percutaneous radiofrequency cordotomy.
Percutaneous radiofrequency cordotomy was performed using the O-arm Imaging System to provide 2D fluoroscopy along with axial and 3D reconstructed computed tomography.
The intervention was conducted in 6 patients (N=6) suffering from unilateral cancer pain.
Initial pain relief was 90% to 100%, and sustained relief remained between 50% and 100% at the time of death (follow-up duration of 2 to 12 months).
No procedural or postoperative complications occurred.
