Abstract |
The spiral computed tomography (SCT) was used in examinations of 59 patients with symptoms of neurological disorders at the postoperative period after discectomy, and 82 casualties and 24 patients with degenerative-dystrophic lesions of the spine after correcting-stabilizing operations with plasty of the vertebra with autobone, biositall-XK. An examination of this category of patients and casualties in the nearest and remote terms after operation improves the potentials of SCT-diagnostics of recurrent hernias, epidural fibrosis, spondylites, central and lateral stenoses and allows control of osteoreparation and remodelling of the spine. The improved pathogenetical treatment in these cases shortens the period of disability and does not result in persistent invalidism of the patients.
