Will the patient retain voluntary control leg muscles

Reference no: EM13121806

A surgical procedure formerly used to alleviate severe intractable pain in cancer patients is called an anterolateral cordotomy. When performed properly, this procedure cuts the axons contained in the lateral spinothalamic tract. If the severe pain is located in the left leg, where in the spinal cord should the cut be made? (i.e., at what level in the spinal cord and on what side of the spinal cord relative to the location of the pain?). If performed properly, will the patient retain voluntary control of his/her leg muscles?
