Surgical Procedure for Pain Relief in Thoracic Spine

The provider removes the lamina (the arch of the vertebral bone) and divides the spinothalamic tract of the spinal cord, which sends pain signals to the brain. Providers perform the procedure to alleviate pain due to cancer or other disorders. This is a single–stage procedure on the thoracic spine. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries.
