title: [Epidural computed electroneurography and electrostimulation of the spinal cord in the reconstructive surgery of the spine in tuberculous spondylitis].
abstract: The study deals with the development of new diagnostic and therapeutical methods for deep spinal marrow diseases in spinal tuberculosis and its sequelae. The human spinal marrow has been first electroneurophysiologically studied during compression of the spine and ofter its anterolateral decompression. A comprehensive diagnostic technique--computed electrospinoneurography has been proposed; objective criteria for prediction and evaluation of therapeutical efficiency have been defined. The proposed epidural electrostimulation following a surgery for anterolateral decompression of the spine accelerates regression of neurological symptoms and increases the extent of its regression in 89.2% of cases in the early postoperative period and enhances the efficacy of prior operations up to 83.9% in the long-term period. The high efficiency of the method is 87.1%, which allows it to be recommended for introduction into clinical practice.
