Introduction: We developed the method of the spinal cord decompression and analyzed its efficacy. The essence of the operation lies in the performance of multilevel laminectomy and mandatory durotomy of spinal cord with the local administration of Cortexin.
Purpose: To develop the most efficient tactics of the decompression laminectomy and to study efficacy of the durotomy and local administration of Cortexin in patients with spinal cord injury.
Methods: As of from January 2013 to June 2015 we performed 24 decompression operations in the thoracic spine in the patients with spinal cord injury. In 12 patients the decompression laminectomy was performed without durotomy of spinal cord. In 12 patients the durotomy of spinal cord with the local administration of Cortexin in the setting in intradural space was performed... Read More»
