[R. G. Mayne gives a Latin form rhachiotomia (see quot. 1859)] Surgery incision into the vertebral canal; cf. rachitomy n. at rachi- comb. form ./ˌreɪkiˈɑdəmi/ΚΠ
1859 R. G. Mayne Expos. Lexicon Med. Sci. (1860) 1085/2 Rhachiotomia,..rhachiotomy.
1892 Trans. Clin. Soc. 25 165 I would conclude by suggesting that the mongrel word ‘laminectomy’ which has recently crept into medical literature might very well be discarded, and the term ‘rhachiotomy’ applied to the operation by which the spinal column or rhachis..is opened.
1957 Amer. Jrnl. Surg. 94 518/1 This point has been made by several authors,..who have attempted to reach the posterior surface of the vertebral body by costotransversectomy or anterolateral rachiotomy.
2003 Spine Jrnl. 3 137/1 To address these surgical shortcomings, Capener and Menard used a lateral rachiotomy (eg, costotransversectomy) approach to obtain an improved posterolateral corridor for the debridement of ventral tuberculomas.
