title: [Rehabilitation following surgery of intraspinal tumors of the thoracic spine].
abstract: 17 patients were operated on because of a spinal compression by tumour. Postoperatively, all patients had an incomplete paraparesis, 11 patients were bed-ridden and needing care, 12 had a rectovesical incontinence. On an average 3 months after intensive physiotherapy, 14 patients could walk without or with little help, only 2 had no control of faeces or urine. In general, the postoperative rehabilitation needs a long time, but has an encouraging prognosis.
