METHOD FOR TREATING LESIONS OF SPINAL CORD IN CASE OF ITS CICATRICIAL ALTERATION Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61B17/56 A61B18/22 A61N2/02 

FIELD: medicine, neurosurgery.

SUBSTANCE: the innovation should be implemented due to laminectomy, preparing the stumps of spinal cord: one should suture up a ferromagnetic tip covered with biocompatible membrane to proximal end of cerebral cerebrospinal cicatrix, moreover, connection between proximal end of cerebrospinal cicatrix and biocompatible ferromagnetic tip should be fulfilled as a single block being behind dura mater, the developed single block should be placed into tubular biocompatible implant to be rigidly fixed towards posterior osseous structures of vertebrae at lesion level; tubular biocompatible implant should be applied along posterior surface of distal end of spinal cord without its compression, moreover, its length should exceed the size of spinal diastasis 2-fold, not less. Periodically, once daily a patient should be placed into solenoid at direct magnetic field of about 0.5-1.0 T intensity, moreover, intensity vector should coincide with cranio-caudal orientation of spinal conducting tract. Then comes dosed traction of proximal end of spinal cicatrix, moreover, the rate of traction of single block ranges about 0.25-0.3 mm daily; spinal traction should be conducted till exceeding regenerate's length against diastasis' length within 1.0-1.5 cm. On achieving a sufficient length of regenerate of proximal end of spinal cord it is necessary to connect them according to "end-to-end" technique that provides directed tissue regeneration.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of therapy.
