The timing of surgical decompression for spinal cord injury
Research into the pathophysiological mechanisms of spinal cord injury (SCI) has resulted in a classification scheme of primary and secondary injury. Primary injury refers to the destructive nature of the initial impact and the subsequent shearing, penetrating, and compressive forces that injure the delicate neural tissue. Secondary injury refers to a complex array of pathophysiologial processes...

متن کاملEarly versus Delayed Decompression for Traumatic Cervical Spinal Cord Injury: Results of the Surgical Timing in Acute Spinal Cord Injury Study (STASCIS)
BACKGROUND There is convincing preclinical evidence that early decompression in the setting of spinal cord injury (SCI) improves neurologic outcomes. However, the effect of early surgical decompression in patients with acute SCI remains uncertain. Our objective was to evaluate the relative effectiveness of early (<24 hours after injury) versus late (≥ 24 hours after injury) decompressive surger...

STUDY DESIGN A systematic review of the literature for clinical and preclinical evidence related to timing of decompression following spinal cord injury (SCI). OBJECTIVE A review of the literature in search of consensus on what constitutes the ideal time frame for surgical management of SCI. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Optimal timing for surgical management of SCI remains poorly defined. Des...
متن کاملSurgical Neurostimulation for Spinal Cord Injury
Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating neurological condition characterized by a constellation of symptoms including paralysis, paraesthesia, pain, cardiovascular, bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction. Current treatment for SCI involves acute resuscitation, aggressive rehabilitation and symptomatic treatment for complications. Despite the progress in scientific understanding, rege...
