Definition
A surgical procedure involving cutting a cord-like structure, particularly a nerve pathway in the spinal cord to relieve severe pain.
Etymology
From 'chorda' (cord) plus '-tomy' (cutting). The '-tomy' suffix means surgical incision or removal, following medical terminology conventions.
Kelly Says
Chordotomy was once a desperate last resort for patients with unbearable cancer pain—surgeons would carefully cut pain-transmitting nerves to give relief!
